Assuming you're talking about the aliasing rules, my understanding is that that only applies if you are mixing pointers with references. If you just use `pointer::read` `pointer::write` the aliasing rules don't apply (doesn't mean it's safe, but it won't immediately be undefined behaviour to write to a mutable pointer while another mutable pointer exists, as it would be if you aliased a mutable reference).
