-/// A low-level utility for more ergonomically allocating, reallocating, and deallocating
-/// a buffer of memory on the heap without having to worry about all the corner cases
-/// involved. This type is excellent for building your own data structures like Vec and VecDeque.
-/// In particular:
-///
-/// * Produces `Unique::dangling()` on zero-sized types.
-/// * Produces `Unique::dangling()` on zero-length allocations.
-/// * Avoids freeing `Unique::dangling()`.
-/// * Catches all overflows in capacity computations (promotes them to "capacity overflow" panics).
-/// * Guards against 32-bit systems allocating more than isize::MAX bytes.
-/// * Guards against overflowing your length.
-/// * Calls `handle_alloc_error` for fallible allocations.
-/// * Contains a `ptr::Unique` and thus endows the user with all related benefits.
-/// * Uses the excess returned from the allocator to use the largest available capacity.
-///
-/// This type does not in anyway inspect the memory that it manages. When dropped it *will*
-/// free its memory, but it *won't* try to drop its contents. It is up to the user of `RawVec`
-/// to handle the actual things *stored* inside of a `RawVec`.
-///
-/// Note that the excess of a zero-sized types is always infinite, so `capacity()` always returns
-/// `usize::MAX`. This means that you need to be careful when round-tripping this type with a
-/// `Box<[T]>`, since `capacity()` won't yield the length.
