Should this lint trigger even if the access is checked e.g with ptr.as_ref/as_mut? The lint describes that it is to ensure unchecked access is not done ever, but does using as_ref/as_mut on pointers not count as checked access?

This arises a lot when implementing COM classes using the windows crate which is annoying.
