The only thing that comes to mind that this could be referring to are the open bugs at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Ais.... Are these what you're referring to?

What makes MIR "infernal"?

You posted a link to a tool that executes pure rust libraries and evaluates memory accesses (both from safe and unsafe rust code) to assert whether they conform to the rust memory model. It sits in the same space as valgrind. You left it open to interpretation with really no other context. We can be excused for not knowing what you were trying to say. I personally still don't.
