It's fearless, it's concurrent, and it's repr C.

For people who want to do manual memory management, there are now new and free functions which return and accept Ref<T>. Those functions replicate how those work in C, allowing free moving and mutating.

Essentially Ref<T> disables borrow checker. This addresses the criticism of Rust being a difficult to use language due to borrow checker enforcing safety rules, which, as we can deduce from the amount of memory-management-related CVEs, is a hard thing for human beings to manage.

Correction: new is a C++ feature

Since this library is extremely popular, we need to keep safety and speed as top priorities, but also code quality :)

(this is definitely real logic and not just me giving you a hard time)
