I know very little about rust, so I saw this example and tried to generalize it by writing,
```
let layout = Layout::new::<T>();
let new_obj = unsafe {
let ptr = alloc(layout) as *mut T;
*ptr = obj;
Box::from_raw(ptr)
};
```
for some more complicated `T`, which ended up crashing with SIGSEGV,
because it tried to `drop_in_place` the previous object in `ptr` which is
of course garbage. I also added a comment that explains why `.write`
is used, but I think adding that comment is optional and may be too verbose
here. I do however think that changing this example is a good idea to
suggest the correct generalization. `.write` is also used in most of the rest
of the documentation here, even if the example is `i32`, so it would additionally
be more consistent.
