    /// Behavior:
    ///
    /// * Both the starting and resulting pointer must be either in bounds or one
    ///   byte past the end of the same allocated object. Note that in Rust,
    ///   every (stack-allocated) variable is considered a separate allocated object.
    ///
    /// * The computed offset cannot exceed `isize::MAX` **bytes**.
    ///
    /// * The offset being in bounds cannot rely on "wrapping around" the address
    ///   space. That is, the infinite-precision sum must fit in a usize.
    ///
    /// The compiler and standard library generally tries to ensure allocations
    /// never reach a size where an offset is a concern. For instance, `Vec`
    /// and `Box` ensure they never allocate more than `isize::MAX` bytes, so
    /// `vec.as_ptr().add(vec.len()).sub(vec.len())` is always safe.
    ///
    /// Most platforms fundamentally can't even construct such an allocation.
    /// For instance, no known 64-bit platform can ever serve a request
    /// for 2<sup>63</sup> bytes due to page-table limitations or splitting the address space.
    /// However, some 32-bit and 16-bit platforms may successfully serve a request for
    /// more than `isize::MAX` bytes with things like Physical Address
    /// Extension. As such, memory acquired directly from allocators or memory
    /// mapped files *may* be too large to handle with this function.
