///
/// - Any valid bit pattern for `T` is also a valid bit pattern for `U`.
/// - Transmuting (e.g. using [`transmute()`]) a value of type `T` to `U` and then to `T` again

/// # Safety
///
/// - [`Self`] must have the same size and alignment as [`Self::Repr`].

///
/// Note that this is more relaxed than requiring the bi-directional transmutability (i.e.
/// [`transmute()`] is always sound between `U` and `T`) because of the support for atomic
/// variables over unit-only enums, see [Examples].
///
/// # Limitations
///
/// Because C primitives are used to implement the atomic operations, and a C function requires a
/// valid object of a type to operate on (i.e. no `MaybeUninit<_>`), hence at the Rust <-> C
/// surface, only types with all the bits initialized can be passed. As a result, types like `(u8,
