A very (not) safe library to check if a number is odd.
Abuses the same bugs and tricks in cve-rs to transmute
the given i8
to a bool
without using unsafe
.
This relies on a compiler bug, almost certainly doesn't
work on all platforms, and is possibly the least
reasonable is_odd
function you could imagine.

Example:
use odd_is_odd::is_odd;
fn main() {
if (is_odd(69)) {
println!("on our way to hundreds of thousands of downloads a week!");
} else {
println!("who could have guessed, the sketchy library is sketchy");
assert!(false);
}
}
