//
// XXX: To keep the API simple and to allow the optimizer to do its thing, the values are stored as
//      plain primitive values that are modified through the `*mut` pointers from the plugin's
//      `Params` object. Technically modifying these while the GUI is open is unsound. We could
//      remedy this by changing `value` to be an atomic type and adding a function also called
//      `value()` to load that value, but in practice that should not be necessary if we don't do
//      anything crazy other than modifying this value. On both AArch64 and x86(_64) reads and
//      writes to naturally aligned values up to word size are atomic, so there's no risk of reading
//      a partially written to value here. We should probably reconsider this at some point though.
