/// # Note on generic usage
///
/// `NonZero<T>` can only be used with some standard library primitive types
/// (such as `u8`, `i32`, and etc.). The type parameter `T` must implement the
/// internal trait [`ZeroablePrimitive`], which is currently permanently unstable
/// and cannot be implemented by users. Therefore, you cannot use `NonZero<T>`
/// with your own types, nor can you implement traits for all `NonZero<T>`,
/// only for concrete types.
