Review Comment:
   Normally `Deref` should go "all the way" and invoke Deref for the target 
type as well?
   Which in this case would mean `Target = [VariantPathElement<'a>]`?

Review Comment:
   It's not usually necessary to invoke `deref` directly?

Review Comment:
   ... but apparently this is a context where deref isn't automatic (tried it 
in playground). Tho we could perhaps be more clear by 
   ```suggestion
           for element in path.iter() {
   ```
   ... which _does_ deref automatically?

Review Comment:
   Can't we just do a directly byte-slice copy? The input is either fully 
validated or the caller has asserted that the bytes are correct. Maybe a 
`VariantArray::value_bytes` method and then 
`VariantArrayBuilder::append_variant_bytes`? Hopefully, that would also 
(eventually) map more nicely to a view-based approach.
