 A reference/pointer is "dangling" if it is null or not all of the bytes it
 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
-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 point to their
-entire range, so it is important that the length metadata is never too
-large. In particular, allocations and therefore slices cannot be bigger than
