How const generics, zero-sized types, branch and arithmetic hygiene, and disciplined inlining hand the Rust compiler enough compile-time facts to make sizes immediate, unused features free, and redundant checks disappear in a lock-free SPSC ring buffer.

How a reserve/commit protocol eliminates per-item copies in a lock-free SPSC ring buffer, and how fast-path/slow-path splitting keeps the common case branch-predictable.
