//! The code samples here directly match the things I described in the show, so
//! you will likely want to look at [`add`] and [`ffi::add`], then [`Point`],
//! [`translate`], and [`ffi::translate`] in that order.
//!

//! [`ffi::add`]: ./ffi/fn.add.html

///
/// I explicitly included the cast `as *mut Point`, but an `&mut Point` will be
