Crate slice_utils

See Slice and SliceMut.

This is a collection of utilities for slices, similar to those found on iterators. The goal is to be as close to feature-parity with iterators as possible, while maintaining no_std compatibility.

The core of this crate is providing non-contiguous slices. For example, Slice::chain allows you to join two slices together, clearly breaking continuity. This results in a very Iterator-like API. Here are some differences:

• Slices can only return references, not owned values - This disallows methods like map which require ownership semantics - Slices are not lazy, and as such: - Slices cannot perform arbitrary computation, because that would require allocation

These shortcomings may be alleviated by a const generic API in the future, making these possible through statically known lengths.

Structs
