Summary
See https://blog.rust-lang.org/2022/01/20/cve-2022-21658/ if you want an explanation of what I mean.
Noticed it has been a hot minute since this happened after I noticed the FORTRANization of Redox's name.
Classifying as a documentation issue for now since I have no idea if the docs are even up-to-date on this point.
