// see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/125833
// notionally, taking the address of an extern static is a safe operation,
// as we only point at it instead of generating a true reference to it

// it may potentially induce linker errors, but the safety of that is not about taking addresses!
// any safety obligation of the extern static's correctness in declaration is on the extern itself,
// see RFC 3484 for more on that: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3484-unsafe-extern-blocks.html
