Getting a USB device to show up in a Docker container on OS X

Some background

I was trying to get the Arduino IDE to work inside a Docker container on OS X. I was able to get the IDE working (see Getting X11 GUI applications to work on OS X with Docker), but I could not figure out how to make the USB port for the Arduino visible.

The solution

I first tried to directly map hardware serial port into the Docker container, doing something like this:

Aatch

extern mod extra;

use extra::json::*;

/*
 * This function manages to do absolutely no copying, which is pretty cool.
 *
 * "What are all those `'r`s?" you ask. Well, they're liftime parameters. They
 * indicate how long something lasts (before it's freed). They can't change how
 * long something lives for, they only allow you to tell the compiler stuff it
