+/// The other main use of the `const` keyword is in `const fn`. This marks a function as being

 /// The `const` keyword is also used in raw pointers in combination with `mut`, as seen in `*const
 /// T` and `*mut T`. More about `const` as used in raw pointers can be read at the Rust docs for the [pointer primitive].
