Having spent a bit of time with Rust, I've gotten used to doing the translation between a String and a &str through using: let foo = String::from_str("foo"); some_function(foo.as_string()); Which felt verbose, and wound up everywhere. After going through and cleaning up the latest round of warning…

Whats with as_string()?

It's not an array. See A contiguous storage by any other name for all the varieties.
