/// The [`Backend`] is a trait to define types that store the stuffed pointer. It's supposed to
/// be implemented on `Copy` types like `usize``u64`, `u128`. Note that these integers are basically
/// just the strategy and exchange types for addresses, but *not* the actual underlying storage, which
/// always contains a pointer to keep provenance (for example `(*mut T, u32)` on 32 bit for `u64`).
///
/// This trait is just exposed for convenience and flexibility, you are usually not expected to implement
/// it yourself, although such occasions could occur (for example to have a bigger storage than `u128`
/// or smaller storage that only works on 32-bit or 16-bit platforms.
///
/// # Safety
/// Implementers of this trait *must* keep provenance of pointers, so if a valid pointer address+provenance
/// combination is set in `set_ptr`, `get_ptr` *must* return the exact same values and provenance.
