But, note that the language spec does not guarantee it to work. The
compiler is free to recognize what that first line is doing and optimize
the assignment into a string in a R/O memory segment. The optimization
is legal because the compiler does not have to recognize the use of
unsafe to determine the programmer's intent to subvert the type system.
