Both the name of and the docs for MaybeUninit::uninit_array() make what it actually does somewhat unclear

[slightlyoutofphase]

Basically, based on the name of the function, and also the part of the docs for it that says:

Create a new array of MaybeUninit<T> items, in an uninitialized state.

I initially had the impression that it internally amounted to:

MaybeUninit::<[MaybeUninit<T>; LEN]>::uninit()

and returned an uninitialized array of uninitialized MaybeUninits.

However, after looking at the source, I realized it actually amounts to:

MaybeUninit::<[MaybeUninit<T>; LEN]>::uninit().assume_init()

and returns an initialized array of uninitialized MaybeUninits (which is what I actually needed, so that's good at least!)
