//! Transmutation of trivial objects
//!
//! Functions in this module are guarded from out-of-bounds memory access and
//! from unsafe transmutation target types through the use of the
//! [`TriviallyTransmutable`](trait.TriviallyTransmutable.html)) trait.
//!
//! If a certain type can be safely constructed out of any byte combination,
//! then it may implement this trait. This is the case for primitive integer
//! types (e.g. `i32`, `u32`, `i64`), arrays of other trivially transmutable
//! types, and `repr(C)` structs composed of trivially transmutable values.
//!
//! However, they are still not entirely safe because the source data may not
//! be correctly aligned for reading and writing a value of the target type.
//! The effects of this range from less performance (e.g. x86) to trapping or
//! address flooring (e.g. ARM), but this is undefined behavior nonetheless.

/// *Nota bene*: `bool` is not `TriviallyTransmutable` because they're restricted to
