We use "user pointer" in a few places (including another of the added
ones), while "user slice" in others -- shouldn't we just use "user
slice"?

By the way, for new APIs with several arguments and potential paths
due to the `offset`, it wouldn't hurt to have an example (even if
build-only) with a couple asserts to show how the API behaves. But I
can create a good first issue for that if you prefer.

Similarly (another potential good first issue), should we use e.g.

#[doc(alias = "simple_read_from_buffer")]`

?

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
