 `memoffset` has **experimental** support for compile-time `offset_of!` on a nightly compiler.
 
 In order to use it, you must enable the `unstable_const` crate feature and several compiler features.

+### Raw references ###
+Recent nightlies support [a way to create raw pointers](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73394) that avoids creating intermediate safe references.
+`memoffset` can make use of that feature to avoid what is technically Undefined Behavior.
+Use the `unstable_raw` feature to enable this.
