// How this module is organized.
//
// The library infrastructure for slices is fairly messy. There's
// a lot of stuff defined here. Let's keep it clean.
//
// Since slices don't support inherent methods; all operations
// on them are defined on traits, which are then reexported from
// the prelude for convenience. So there are a lot of traits here.
//
// The layout of this file is thus:
//
// * Slice-specific 'extension' traits and their implementations. This
//   is where most of the slice API resides.
// * Implementations of a few common traits with important slice ops.
// * Definitions of a bunch of iterators.
// * Free functions.
// * The `raw` and `bytes` submodules.
// * Boilerplate trait implementations.

/// # Safety
///
/// This function is unsafe as there is no guarantee that the given pointer is
/// valid for `len` elements, nor whether the lifetime inferred is a suitable
/// lifetime for the returned slice.
///
/// `p` must be non-null, even for zero-length slices, because non-zero bits
/// are required to distinguish between a zero-length slice within `Some()`
/// from `None`. `p` can be a bogus non-dereferencable pointer, such as `0x1`,
/// for zero-length slices, though.
///
/// # Caveat
///
/// The lifetime for the returned slice is inferred from its usage. To
/// prevent accidental misuse, it's suggested to tie the lifetime to whichever
/// source lifetime is safe in the context, such as by providing a helper
/// function taking the lifetime of a host value for the slice, or by explicit
/// annotation.

///
/// ```
/// use std::slice;
///
/// // manifest a slice out of thin air!
/// let ptr = 0x1234 as *const usize;
/// let amt = 10;
