Can someone explain to me how `Box::from_raw` and `Box::into_raw` are able to work with unsized types? Aren't we 100% for sure loosing the size/vtable? /cc @Gankro

Raw pointers can be fat

So you're saying `mem::size_of::<*const [u8]>` is double width, right? Shouldn't the compiler be disallowing a cast from a fat raw pointer to a thin raw pointer? If `Box::<[u8]>::into_raw` goes through C, that will cause big problems right?

Not being able to cast from a slice to a c-array would kinda blow? Box<[T]> barely exists so not much thought is put into it.

Isn't `slice.as_ptr()` around for that exact purpose?

doesn't work on *const [T] yo
