points to are part of the same allocation (so in particular they all have to be points to are part of the same allocation (so in particular they all have to be
part of *some* allocation). The span of bytes it points to is determined by the part of *some* allocation). The span of bytes it points to is determined by the
pointer value and the size of the pointee type. As a consequence, if the span is pointer value and the size of the pointee type. As a consequence, if the span is
empty, "dangling" is the same as "non-null". Note that slices and strings point empty, "dangling" is the same as "null". Note that slices and strings point
to their entire range, so it's important that the length metadata is never too to their entire range, so it's important that the length metadata is never too
large (in particular, allocations and therefore slices and strings cannot be large (in particular, allocations and therefore slices and strings cannot be
bigger than `isize::MAX` bytes). If for some reason this is too cumbersome, bigger than `isize::MAX` bytes). If for some reason this is too cumbersome,
