  The `LayoutError` is returned when the parameters given to `Layout::from_size_align` or some other `Layout` constructor do not satisfy its documented constraints.
- AllocErrorExperimental
  The `AllocError` error indicates an allocation failure that may be due to resource exhaustion or to something wrong when combining the given input arguments with this allocator.
