[$] Toward safe transmutation in Rust

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