+///
+/// `NonZero<T>` is guaranteed to have the same layout and bit validity as `T`
+/// with the exception that the all-zero bit pattern is invalid.
+/// `Option<NonZero<T>>` is guaranteed to be compatible with `T`, including in
+/// FFI.
+///
+/// Thanks to the [null pointer optimization], `NonZero<T>` and
+/// `Option<NonZero<T>>` are guaranteed to have the same size and alignment:
+///
+/// ```
+/// # use std::mem::{size_of, align_of};
+/// use std::num::NonZero;
+///
+/// assert_eq!(size_of::<NonZero<u32>>(), size_of::<Option<NonZero<u32>>>());
