//! Checks whether one type's representation can be reinterpreted as another.
//!
//! The analysis converts compiler layouts into trees of bytes, references, and
//! definition markers. It prunes destination paths that may carry safety invariants unless
//! safety is assumed, then converts the trees into deterministic finite automata.
//! Comparing the automata produces an [`Answer`]; reference transitions can leave
//! [`Condition`]s for the trait solver to discharge.
