+The `transparent` representation can only be used on a [`struct`][structs]

 - a single field with non-zero size, and
 - any number of fields with size 0 and alignment 1 (e.g. [`PhantomData<T>`]).

 This is different than the `C` representation because
 a struct with the `C` representation will always have the ABI of a `C` `struct`
