 Starting with Rust 1.36.0, the parts of `std` that depend on a global allocator, e.g. `Vec<T>`,
 are now available in the `alloc` crate. The `std` crate then re-exports these parts.

+While `#![no_std]` *binaries* using `alloc` still require nightly Rust,

 Meanwhile, normal binaries, without `#![no_std]`, can depend on such library crates.
 We hope this will facilitate the development of a `#![no_std]` compatible ecosystem of libraries
 prior to stabilizing support for `#![no_std]` binaries using `alloc`.

 cannot be used correctly as the Rust compiler assumes that values are properly initialized.
 For example, calling `mem::uninitialized::<bool>()` causes *instantaneous __undefined behavior__*

 To remedy this situation, in Rust 1.36.0, the type [`MaybeUninit<T>`] has been [stabilized][pr-60445].
 The Rust compiler will understand that it should not assume that a [`MaybeUninit<T>`] is a properly initialized `T`.
