This PR refactors a pattern that is pervasive to pretty much every single timely operator into an easier to use input handle method that also reduces the boilerplate code operator authors need to write.
The pattern is receiving a
RefOrMut
container from a handle and immediately swapping it with a local container in order to gain mutable access. In this repo all but one operators exhibited this pattern and associated boilerplate.
