	// cannot deference any fields on the object implementing it (but will
	// likely make use of the type of these fields).

	// Packed returns true if the marshalled size of the type is the same as the
	// size it occupies in memory. This happens when the type has no fields
	// starting at unaligned addresses (should always be true by default for ABI
	// structs, verified by automatically generated tests when using
	// go_marshal), and has no fields marked `marshal:"unaligned"`.
	//
	// Packed must return the same result for all possible values of the type
	// implementing it. Violating this constraint implies the type doesn't have
	// a static memory layout, and will lead to memory corruption.
	// Go-marshal-generated code reuses the result of Packed for multiple values
	// of the same type.

	// MarshalUnsafe serializes a type by bulk copying its in-memory
	// representation to the dst buffer. This is only safe to do when the type
	// has no implicit padding, see Marshallable.Packed. When Packed would
	// return false, MarshalUnsafe should fall back to the safer but slower
	// MarshalBytes.

	// UnmarshalUnsafe deserializes a type by directly copying to the underlying
	// memory allocated for the object by the runtime.

	// This allows much faster unmarshalling of types which have no implicit
	// padding, see Marshallable.Packed. When Packed would return false,

	// mechanism implemented in UnmarshalBytes.

	// CopyIn deserializes a Marshallable type from a task's memory. This may

	// extra copies in memory by directly deserializing to the object's
	// underlying memory.
