I guess I didn't explain this well enough; Pointee is a subset of the current category !Sized. So current Rust code does handle things that would be Pointee.
The point of the RFC is that !Sized is really lumping two separate, useful categories together: SizeOfVal (where we don't know the size based on the type, but we can know the size of some particular value) and Pointee (where we can't know the size at all).
