For unsafe code authors, the slogan summarizing this post is: -> *You must always be valid, but you must only be safe in safe code.* +> *You must always be valid, but you only must be safe in safe code.* I think we have enough experience writing unsafe code at this point that we can reasonably discuss which validity invariants make sense and which do not -- and I think that it is high time that we do so, because many unsafe code authors are wondering about these exact things all the time.
