/// This is generally true for all plain-old-data structs.  It is notably not true for any type
/// that includes a reference.
///
/// It is unsafe for `T` to be `ByteValued` if `T` contains implicit padding. (LLVM considers access
/// to implicit padding to be undefined behavior, which can cause UB when working with `T`.
/// For details on structure padding in Rust, see
/// <https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-layout.html#the-c-representation>.
