/// Changes the memory protection of one or more pages.
///
/// The address range may overlap one or more pages, and if so, all pages
/// spanning the range will be modified. The previous protection flags are not
/// preserved (if you desire to preserve the protection flags, use
/// [`protect_with_handle`]).
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - The range is `[address, address + size)`
/// - The address is rounded down to the closest page boundary.
/// - The size may not be zero.
/// - The size is rounded up to the closest page boundary, relative to the
///   address.
///
/// # Errors
///
/// - If an interaction with the underlying operating system fails, an error
/// will be returned.
/// - If size is zero,
/// [`Error::InvalidParameter`](crate::Error::InvalidParameter) will be
/// returned.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// This function can violate memory safety in a myriad of ways. Read-only memory
/// can become writable, the executable properties of code segments can be
/// removed, etc.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// - Make an array of x86 assembly instructions executable.
///
/// ```
/// # fn main() -> region::Result<()> {
/// # if cfg!(any(target_arch = "x86", target_arch = "x86_64"))
/// #   && !cfg!(any(target_os = "openbsd", target_os = "netbsd")) {
/// use region::Protection;
/// let ret5 = [0xB8, 0x05, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0xC3u8];

/// let x: extern "C" fn() -> i32 = unsafe {
///   region::protect(ret5.as_ptr(), ret5.len(), region::Protection::READ_WRITE_EXECUTE)?;
///   std::mem::transmute(ret5.as_ptr())
/// };
///
/// assert_eq!(x(), 5);
/// # }
/// # Ok(())

/// Temporarily changes the memory protection of one or more pages.
///
/// The address range may overlap one or more pages, and if so, all pages within
/// the range will be modified. The protection flag for each page will be reset
/// once the handle is dropped. To conditionally prevent a reset, use
/// [`std::mem::forget`].
///
/// This function uses [`query_range`](crate::query_range) internally and is
/// therefore less performant than [`protect`]. Use this function only if you
/// need to reapply the memory protection flags of one or more regions after
/// operations.
///
/// # Guard
///
/// Remember not to conflate the *black hole* syntax with the ignored, but
/// unused, variable syntax. Otherwise the [`ProtectGuard`] instantly resets the
/// protection flags of all pages.
///
/// ```ignore
/// let _ = protect_with_handle(...);      // Pages are instantly reset
/// let _guard = protect_with_handle(...); // Pages are reset once `_guard` is dropped.
/// ```
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - The range is `[address, address + size)`
/// - The address is rounded down to the closest page boundary.
/// - The size may not be zero.
/// - The size is rounded up to the closest page boundary, relative to the
///   address.
///
/// # Errors
///
/// - If an interaction with the underlying operating system fails, an error
/// will be returned.
/// - If size is zero,
