   Interesting, haven't seen or tried that crate before, but seems to solve the exact problem that our Array types have where we have data owned by ArrayData but to access it without indirections using a pointer or slice. The crate looks healthy, several contributors and releases. The macro might slow down compilation a bit, but I think that's a worthwhile tradeoff.
   
   `RawPtrBox` also implements `Send` + `Sync`, I think that should also work automatically for slices.
