+**Update (2022-11-17):** Switched to `MaybeUninit` to keep the example working in newer versions of Rust.

 `always_returns_true` is a function that, clearly, will return `true` for any possible 8-bit unsigned integer.
 After all, *every* possible value for `x` will be either less than 120, equal to 120, or bigger than 120.
 A quick loop [confirms this](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=release&edition=2018&gist=65b690fa3c1691e11d4d45955358cdbe).
-However, if you [run the example](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=release&edition=2018&gist=812fe3c8655bfedcea37bb18bb70a945), you can see the assertion fail.[^godbolt]

 [^godbolt]: In case this changes with future Rust versions, [here is the same example on godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/9G67hP); the `xor eax, eax` indicates that the function returns 0, aka `false`. And [here is a version for C++](https://godbolt.org/z/TWrvcq).
