 As an aside, while `Send` and `Sync` are `unsafe` traits, they are *also*

+automatically implemented for types when such derivations are probably safe
 to do. `Send` is automatically derived for all types composed only of values
 whose types also implement `Send`. `Sync` is automatically derived for all
 types composed only of values whose types also implement `Sync`. This minimizes
