With rust 1.90 this will crash while running cargo test with

$ RUST_BACKTRACE=1 cargo test

null pointer dereference occurred
stack backtrace:

Note that the deref_nullptr lint is going to be denied by default on 1.93.

As far as my greeping was able to tell, there should be no other users than the
docstring.
