Is there a "Rust compiler's rule" you can point to that's harder than avoiding UB in C or C++ in similar circumstances? They strike me as very similar beasts.

Seeing how the Rust compiler isn't an LLM, it can't really work on wit.

From the POV of a programmer, how would you implement an unsafe block? What is disabled vs what's enabled?

Say you are tasked with making Miri; how do you detect violations of these rules?
