 In particular, for `&(i32, Cell<i32>)`, TB allows mutating *both* fields, including the first field which is a regular `i32`, since it just treats the entire reference as "this allows aliasing".[^1]
 In contrast, SB actually figured out that the first 4 bytes are read-only and only the last 4 bytes allow mutation via aliased pointers.
 
-[^1]: This does not mean that we bless such mutation! It just means that the compiler cannot use immutability of the first field for its optimizations. Basically, immutability of that field becomes a [safety invariant instead of a validity invariant]({% post_url 2018-08-22-two-kinds-of-invariants %}): when you call foreign code, you can still rely on it not mutating that field, but within the privacy of your own code you are allowed to mutate it.

 The reason for this design decision is that the general philosophy with TB was to err on the side of allowing more code, having less UB (which is the opposite direction than what I used with SB).
 This is a deliberate choice to uncover as much of the design space as we can with these two models.
