Forgive me if I've mis-understood this thread, but there are unsafe declerations in that crate. Is there really any difference between using unsafe in your own code, versus wrapping it inside some crate?

I guess you are making the point that the user does not have to concern themselves with the unsafe declarations?

I don't think it's unreasonable, even though I am getting marked down for daring to ask, for people who are making assertions, even if they are well understood *within their own community* (that is, not necessarily universally known) to show examples of what they are talking about.

You're correcting someone, so it's clear that your understanding isn't universal, and example code is the absolute minimum.
