Dear all, I am looking at the source code for the new "unique" package (just out of curiosity). One thing I did not understand: why is `zero` defined to be an `uintptr`?
https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/master:src/unique/handle.go;l=16 My understanding is the `zero` variable just provides a unique memory location, and any type, e.g. byte, would have worked just as well. Is this right? Was uintptr choosen for performance reasons? Or to guarantee alignment?
