    Yes, that's possible if you use repr(transparent). And as always David Tolnay has a crate for that: https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast

    Actually you can, as long as the newtype struct has #[repr(transparent)]. The ref-cast crate makes it easy to do this without having to (directly) use unsafe code!

    You can add #[repr(transparent)] and then call transmute(), or use https://github.com/dtolnay/ref-cast (which is exactly what it does anyway, providing a safe interface).
