//! Hazardous Materials: low-level APIs which can be insecure if misused.
//!
//! The traits in this module are not generally recommended, and should only be
//! used in special cases where they are specifically needed.
//!
//! Using them incorrectly can introduce security vulnerabilities. Please
//! carefully read the documentation before attempting to use them.
