This reverts commit 479d756c992af132c6ba45248c65dc230c5986cf.

There’s nothing wrong with this patch, but I had never pulled this
commit to my local repository and had completely forgotten about it, and
today removed the unsafe code in a *different* direction that I like
better (`bytes.try_into().map(|bytes| u64::from_ne_bytes(bytes))`), so
reverting it so I can cleanly rebase is just easier for me!
