Thanks, this nice.

Does putting a link here work? (I guess we don't yet export the bindings
documentation, so it will probably fail... When we decide to enable it,
we should create an issue to add missing links)

You need some justification as to why calling the three allowed
functions here.

Missing SAFETY comment.
