Like I explained in my original review, there is now a new type of
program analysis guarded behind `-Wunsafe-buffers-usage` that this library
would greatly benefit from, if it were spanified. The warning itself is
opt-in to users. In the end of the day, this is about removing the chance
of certain categories of mistakes around the use of pointers, while
improving readability.
