Do you think Rust macros are a bit like magic? I do too!
This crate aliases some common (and some less common) code snippets to macros named after thematically appropriate spells from Harry Potter.
E.g. the drop function can now be cast with obliviate!, Pin::new() with immobulus!, and if you want protection from harmful dementors this crate lets you cast expecto_patronum!(expr, "message") instead of calling expr.expect("message").

let v1 = vec![erecto!(i32); 5];
let mut v2 = geminio!(&v1);
obliviate!(v1);
accio!(expecto_patronum!(v2.get_mut(0), "Dementors B-gone!")) = 5;

Also aliases unsafe to the macro unforgivable!, because what could be more unforgivable than undefined behaviour?
