impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
/// Returns `true` if the pointer is null.
///
/// Note that unsized types have many possible null pointers, as only the
/// raw data pointer is considered, not their length, vtable, etc.
/// Therefore, two pointers that are null may still not compare equal to
/// each other.
///
/// ## Behavior during const evaluation
///
/// When this function is used during const evaluation, it may return `false` for pointers
/// that turn out to be null at runtime. Specifically, when a pointer to some memory
/// is offset beyond its bounds in such a way that the resulting pointer is null,
/// the function will still return `false`. There is no way for CTFE to know
/// the absolute position of that memory, so we cannot tell if the pointer is
/// null or not.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Basic usage:
///
/// ```
/// let mut s = [1, 2, 3];
/// let ptr: *mut u32 = s.as_mut_ptr();
/// assert!(!ptr.is_null());
