One last subtle detail: if our Vec is empty, we want to produce an empty
iterator. This will actually technically fall out doing the naive thing of:
```text
start = ptr
end = ptr.offset(len)
```
However because `offset` is marked as a GEP inbounds instruction, this will tell
LLVM that ptr is allocated and won't alias other allocated memory. This is fine
for zero-sized types, as they can't alias anything. However if we're using
`heap::EMPTY` as a sentinel for a non-allocation for a *non-zero-sized* type,
this can cause Undefined Behaviour. Alas, we must therefore special case either
cap or len being 0 to not do the offset.
So this is what we end up with for initialization:
