* The `Copy` trait is no longer implemented automatically. Unsafe pointers no longer implement `Sync`
and `Send` so types containing them don't automatically either. `Sync` and `Send` are now 'unsafe
traits' so one can "forcibly" implement them via `unsafe impl` if a type confirms to the requirements for them even though the internals do not (e.g. structs containing unsafe pointers like `Arc`). These changes are intended to prevent some footguns
and are collectively known as [opt-in built-in traits][oibit]
(though `Sync` and `Share` will soon become pure library types
unknown to the compiler).
