Utility trait implemented only on arrays of fixed size

This trait can be used to implement other traits on fixed-size arrays without causing much metadata bloat.

The trait is marked unsafe in order to restrict implementors to fixed-size arrays. User of this trait can assume that implementors have the exact layout in memory of a fixed size array (for example, for unsafe initialization).

Note that the traits AsRef and AsMut provide similar methods for types that may not be fixed-size arrays. Implementors should prefer those traits instead.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
