Description
There's a lot of code right now that does things like frob(&"foo".to_string()).as_slice()
, using method calls to do both 'free' and non-free coercions. While the underlying string semantics may be good, it's not so usable as one might like.
We need to figure out a way to minimize the burden of these, and other, coercion methods without compromising predictability.
