  First, we take some of the safety into our own hands. While this approach won't result in corrupted memory, double frees or accessing freed pointers, it can lead to run-time panics and other problems because we deal in "raw" indices to a vector.

Yeah, I’ve often seen people in discussions about c/zig/rust memory saying “manual memory management is fine, just use an arena and handles!” It’s a strange statement to me because you’re just laundering the unsafe pointer arithmetic behind array indexing
