## Array Layout

Arrays are laid out so that the `nth` element of the array is offset from the
start of the array by `n * the size of the type` bytes. An array of `[T; n]`
has a size of `size_of::<T>() * n` and the same alignment of `T`.
An array of `[T; N]` has a size of `size_of::<T>() * N` and the same alignment
of `T`. Arrays are laid out so that the zero-based `nth` element of the array
is offset from the start of the array by `n * size_of::<T>()` bytes.
