Correction: when I went to implement this, I discovered that there is a better
way, which addresses both Alex's and your concerns. 

The incremental diff below shows how. It provides:

a) .from_raw(), which in this case matches conventions slightly better
   than new(). (I'm still learning that the Rust way is a bit different
   that the C++ way! haha).

b) Only the parent module (in this case, that's pci:: ) can call
   Class::from_raw(). This is exactly what we need. Fully private methods
   wouldn't work, but leaving it open for any caller to construct a
   Class item is also a problem.

c) Restored infallible operations, and with it, Alex's request for a
   reasonable behavior here now works once again:

       from_raw(0x10de).as_raw() == 0x10de
