A screenshot from the playground linked above. It achieves the same as the first post in the thread but does so without using ampersands.

A screenshot from the playground linked in the post demonstrating that exact pattern.
Now, say you wanted to write `let mut c = &mut *d;` using patterns. Not to worry! Just enable the unstable `mut_ref` feature and write `let &mut mut ref mut c = d;`. It's a cinch!

“You'd have to do a lot of crocheting to make ends meet.”
Here's a playground link which illustrates how this could be a breaking change a bit more clearly. Then again, this is caused by a bug in rustc and cargo-semver probably shouldn't warn on this—I'm sorry you got pinged about that!

I was being very tongue-in-cheek with the whole “semver breakage” thing. The real bug is that `meow` and `mewo` should compile but only the former actually does. The “surprise semver breakage” quip is just about how seemingly innocuous changes in an upstream crate can cause this bug to occur.
A screenshot of the code from the linked playground. The `mewo` function has an error squiggle despite being near identical to the `meow` function above.

So the answer is yesn’t? Like, the logic for checking whether a `#[repr(transparent)]` ADT will reveal the layout of your type to the type checker with no regards for visibility but an end user in another crate will at least get a lint.
Here is the compiler’s logic for checking whether a transparent structure has a legal layout.

It seems to have the notion of an unsuited type, which is a non-local ADT with private fields or a `non_exhaustive` attribute, and will lint if you use it as a ZST.
A screenshot from Girls' Last Tour episode 5. Chito is dreaming of the ocean, with Yuuri depicted as a big fish. The skeleton of the small fish they ate a few days ago is circled in red. Hidden in the image is a picture of Goku.
A screenshot of a Snap! project. When the green flag is clicked, the program says meow for two seconds, moves 10 steps forwards, waits 2 seconds, sets the "factorial" variable to a recursive implementation of factorial using the Y-combinator, and uses that variable to evaluate 5 factorial.
Snap! is amazing.
