Much simpler since you just need to backup a single file, if you're not running a public service with heavy traffic it's safe to assume that your db state is always consistent

DerefMut would allow you to call `clear()` on `v` violating the invariant

I'd be great is there were a way to shadow methods but even then guarantees would be poor since Vec might add a new method in the future which isn't covered by invariant checks

Lots of bad(internal) code isn't accessible, the good open source stuff is quite the contrary is true in finance, lots of amateurs are sharing their thoughts where as actual deep analysis is kept to internal presentations.

> If I remember correctly all they stored was an account ID and a UNIX timestamp such as the last login.

How do they perform address book matching without an phone number? It just being accessible by SGX does not really count as not storing it.

Problem with phone numbers is they are to short to store as a hash, since you can brute force the sha256 of an phone number in a trivial amount of time on a single consumer device
