> Transmute is like, the most unsafe thing possible.

Yes, the first rule of auditing Rust unsafe blocks is that if you see someone using std::mem::transmute, you walk over and ask the author if they're really certain what they're doing. :) However, it should be noted that std::mem::transmute still has some guard rails; the real "most unsafe thing possible" is the variant of this function that does away with those guard rails: std::mem::transmute_copy.
