+/// An owned, partially type-converted vector.
+///
+/// This struct takes two type parameters `T` and `U` which must be of the
+/// same, non-zero size having the same minimal alignment.
+///
+/// No allocations are performed by usage, only a deallocation happens in the
+/// destructor which should only run when unwinding.
+///
+/// It can be used to convert a vector of `T`s into a vector of `U`s, by
+/// converting the individual elements one-by-one.
+///
+/// You may call the `push` method as often as you get a `Some(t)` from `pop`.
+/// After pushing the same number of `U`s as you got `T`s, you can `unwrap` the
+/// vector.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```ignore
+/// let pv = PartialVec::from_vec(vec![0u32, 1]);
+/// assert_eq!(pv.pop(), Some(0));
+/// assert_eq!(pv.pop(), Some(1));
+/// assert_eq!(pv.pop(), None);
+/// pv.push(2u32);
+/// pv.push(3);
+/// assert_eq!(pv.into_vec().as_slice(), &[2, 3]);
+/// ```
+//
+// Upheld invariants:
+//
+// (a) `vec` isn't modified except when the `PartialVec` goes out of scope, the
+//     only thing it is used for is keeping the memory which the `PartialVec`
+//     uses for the inplace conversion.
+//
+// (b) `start_u` points to the start of the vector.
+//
+// (c) `end_u` points to one element beyond the vector.
+//
+// (d) `start_u` <= `end_u` <= `start_t` <= `end_t`.
+//
+// (e) From `start_u` (incl.) to `end_u` (excl.) there are sequential instances
+//     of type `U`.
+//
+// (f) From `start_t` (incl.) to `end_t` (excl.) there are sequential instances
+//     of type `T`.
+//
+// (g) The size of `T` and `U` is equal and non-zero.
