A crate that allows you to mostly-safely cast one type into another type.

This is mostly useful for generic functions, e.g.

rs pub fn foo<S>(s: S) { if let Ok(a) = unsafe { unty::<S, u8>(s) } { println!("It is an u8 with value {a}"); } else { println!("it is not an u8"); } } foo(10u8); // will print "it is an u8" foo("test"); // will print "it is not an u8"

This operation is still unsafe because it allows you to extend lifetimes. There currently is not a way to prevent this

rs if let Ok(str) = unsafe { unty::<&'a str, &'static str>(input) } { // the compiler may now light your PC on fire }
