Description

Out of curiosity, what would need to be done to remove the warning in the readme? With regards to removing unsafe code, is that even possible with this sort of project? I'd love to hear more from someone who knows the compiler rules better than me. It seems like something that is necessary for someone who is wanting this level of memory guarantees with bytes
