+Vectors store their contents as contiguous arrays of `T` on the heap. This means
+that they must be able to know the size of `T` at compile time (that is, how
+many bytes are needed to store a `T`?). The size of some things can't be known
+at compile time. For these you'll have to store a pointer to that thing:
+thankfully, the [`Box`][box] type works perfectly for this.

 ## Accessing elements
 
 To get the value at a particular index in the vector, we use `[]`s:
