"textContent": "In Rust, types either possess a constant size known at compile time, or a dynamically calculated size known at run time. That is fine for most purposes, but recent proposals for the language have shown the need for a more fine-grained hierarchy. \nRFC 3729 from David Wood and Rémy Rakic would add a hierarchy of traits to describe types with sizes known under different circumstances. While the idea has been subject to discussion for many years, a growing number of use cases for the feature have come to light.",
