Title: RFC: conventions for placement of unsafe APIs

This is a *conventions RFC* for settling the location of `unsafe` APIs relative
to the types they work with, as well as the use of `raw` submodules.

The brief summary is:

* Unsafe APIs should be made into methods or static functions in the same cases
that safe APIs would be.

* `raw` submodules should be used only to provide APIs directly on low-level
representations.
