>    `try_init!` macros along with their internal types.
> 3. Adds the `InPlaceInit` trait that allows using an initializer to create
>    an object inside of a `Box<T>` and other smart pointers.
> 4. Adds the `PinnedDrop` trait and adds macro support for it in
>    the `#[pin_data]` macro.
> 5. Adds the `stack_pin_init!` macro allowing to pin-initialize a struct on
>    the stack.
> 6. Adds the `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function to initialize
>    types that have `0x00` in all bytes as a valid bit pattern.
