This is such a helpful diagram, showing the layout of common #RustLang pointers/containers in memory. I think this sort of thing should be in The Book. If it strikes you as too advanced for that audience, think about how hard it is for beginners to navigate the constant barrage of `Sized` bounds without this mental model.
