The difference of transmute and transmute! is a single character, but one function requires unsafe the other doesn't. I find it not uncommon from a quick scan over where I could use this crate to still have transmute for other reasons in scope.

I wonder if the names checked_transmute! or safe_transmute! wouldn't be better names to make this clearer when reviewing code.
