Issue #483 observed that the quickstart guide results in horrible failure on a modern rustc. This is because it pins an old version of the libraries, which the modern rustc observes are presently defective. The updated libraries don't have the same complaints, although we have moved even further away from the unsafe code they complain about and should further update things once we have a version we'd like to cut.
Other defects observed in the docs, mostly around supplied a size argument and calling the right code.
