The functions
Subbuffer::{try_cast, try_cast_slice, try_from_bytes}
were modelled after bytemuck, but the issue is that since #2132 we have the ability to represent arbitrary unsized types in subbuffers, not just sized types and slices. So for instance there is currently no way to safely turn a subbuffer of bytes to a subbuffer of some custom DST. This PR addresses that by replacing those functions with just oneSubbuffer::reinterpret[_ref]
that works for any combination of types.Changelog:
