the semantics of transmuting a reference or pointer type to a non-pointer type is currently undecided.
Thus, it may not be valid to transmute a pointer or reference type, `P`, to a `[u8; size_of::<P>()]`.

For thin raw pointers (i.e., for `<T as Pointee>::Metadata == ()` and `P = *const T` or `P = *mut T`),
For thin raw pointers (i.e., for `P = *const T` or `P = *mut T` for `T: Sized`),
the inverse direction (transmuting from an integer or array of integers to `P`) is always valid.
However, the pointer produced via such a transmutation may not be dereferenced (not even if `T` has size zero).
