> As written this PR is unsound, as `PrimitiveArray::values` requires the
values pointer to be correctly aligned.
The alignment soundness in `PrimitiveArray::values` is guaranteed by
`is_aligned_and_not_null`. This is how it is implemented:
```
pub(crate) fn is_aligned_and_not_null<T>(ptr: *const T) -> bool {
!ptr.is_null() && ptr.addr() % mem::align_of::<T>() == 0
}
```
It only checks if the ptr address is aligned with type `T`.
