+//! Types dealing with unsafe actions.
+
+use cast;
+use kinds::marker;
+
+/// Unsafe type that wraps a type T and indicates unsafe interior operations on the
+/// wrapped type. Types with an `Unsafe<T>` field are considered to have an *unsafe
+/// interior*. The Unsafe type is the only legal way to obtain aliasable data that is
+/// considered mutable. In general, transmuting an &T type into an &mut T is considered
+/// undefined behavior.
+///
+/// Although it is possible to put an Unsafe<T> into static item, it is not permitted to
+/// take the address of the static item if the item is not declared as mutable. This rule
+/// exists because immutable static items are stored in read-only memory, and thus any
+/// attempt to mutate their interior can cause segfaults. Immutable static items containing
+/// Unsafe<T> instances are still useful as read-only initializers, however, so we do not
+/// forbid them altogether.
+///
+/// Types like `Cell` and `RefCell` use this type to wrap their internal data.
+///
+/// Unsafe doesn't opt-out from any kind, instead, types with an `Unsafe` interior
+/// are expected to opt-out from kinds themselves.
+///
+/// # Example:
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// use std::ty::Unsafe;
+/// use std::kinds::marker;
+///
+/// struct NotThreadSafe<T> {
+///     value: Unsafe<T>,
+///     marker1: marker::NoShare
+/// }
+/// ```
+///
+/// **NOTE:** Unsafe<T> fields are public to allow static initializers. It is not recommended
+/// to access its fields directly, `get` should be used instead.
