This resolves a soundness issue; we cannot use &mut [T] to refer to uninitialized memory. It's only used as a brief argument passing mechanism in fact, see pack functions, where we previously found that using a slice improves pointer aliasing information and optimization (this was not verified when working on this change; except that benchmarks show no difference).
