 #### Niche
 
 The *niche* of a type determines invalid bit-patterns that will be used by layout optimizations.

 niches. For example, the "all bits uninitialized" is an invalid bit-pattern for
 `&mut T`, but this bit-pattern cannot be used by layout optimizations, and is not a
 niche.

 #### Call ABI
 
 The *call ABI* determines how a type is passed *by value* across a function boundary.
