Seems like this would be flaky. The allocator can put these at the same address if the compiler decides to drop the old one before allocating the new one.
What sort of regression is this test hoping to catch?

Fair enough, I made this test while I was trying to write them without UB or unsafe. It doesn't make much sense now that you point that out

The other test on the other hand might not catch a regression for the same reason 馃 but I can't think of a another way to test this. Basically it might give a false positive but never a false negative

Avoid dropping and reallocating when cloning to an existing box if the lengths are the same.
It would be nice if this could also be specialized for
Copybut I don't know how that works since it's not on stable. Will gladly look into it if it's deemed as a good idea.This is my first PR with code, hope I did everything right 馃槃
