# Objective The type `ThinSlicePtr` has a manual implementation of `Clone` that manually clones each field. Since this type implements `Copy`, we can change this implementation to simply dereference `&self`. |

bevy_ptr
The bevy_ptr crate provides low-level abstractions for working with pointers in a more safe way than using rust's raw pointers.
Rust has lifetimed and typed references (&'a T), unlifetimed and typed references (*const T), but no lifetimed but untyped references.
bevy_ptr adds them, called Ptr<'a>, PtrMut<'a> and OwningPtr<'a>.
These types are lifetime-checked so can never lead to problems like use-after-frees and must always point to valid data.
