279 /// It is used to wrap structs from the C side, like for example `Opaque<bindings::mutex>`.
280 /// It gets rid of all the usual assumptions that Rust has for a value:
281 ///
282 /// * The value is allowed to be uninitialized (for example have invalid bit patterns: `3` for a
283 ///   [`bool`]).
284 /// * The value is allowed to be mutated, when a `&Opaque<T>` exists on the Rust side.
285 /// * No uniqueness for mutable references: it is fine to have multiple `&mut Opaque<T>` point to
286 ///   the same value.
287 /// * The value is not allowed to be shared with other threads (i.e. it is `!Sync`).
288 ///
289 /// This has to be used for all values that the C side has access to, because it can't be ensured
290 /// that the C side is adhering to the usual constraints that Rust needs.
291 ///
