[$] Toward safe transmutation in Rust

Description:
Currently in Rust, there is no efficient and safe way to turn an array of bytes
into a structure that corresponds to the array. Changing that was the topic of Jack Wrenn's talk this year at RustConf : "Safety Goggles for Alchemists" . The goal is to be able to "transmute"
Rust's name for this kind of conversion values into arbitrary user-defined types in a safer way. Wrenn justified the approach that the project has taken to
accomplish this, and spoke about the future work required to stabilize it.
