This seems to be implied due to these types supporting operation-less unsized coercions. Taken together with the established behavior of a wide to thin pointer cast it would enable unsafe downcasting of these containers.

Note that the term "data pointer" is adopted from rust-lang/rfcs#3559

Document requirements for unsized {Rc,Arc}::from_raw

This seems to be implied due to these types supporting operation-less unsized coercions. Taken together with the [established behavior of a wide to thin pointer cast](rust-lang/reference#1451) it would enable unsafe downcasting of these containers.

Note that the term "data pointer" is adopted from rust-lang/rfcs#3559
