We're doing many pointer casts, which Rust has a more convenient function for: std::mem::transmute, this reduces the syntactical overhead and is easier to understand for linters (such as MIRI and clippy).
Additionally, all these pointer casts were theoretically unsound, because #[repr(transparent)] was missing. I added safety comments as well referencing that attribute.
We should probably be running MIRI to really ensure that everything we're doing is safe.
