.. Maybe part of the confusion here is the difference between the 
representation of these slice types (ie in memory) and the definition of 
these slice types (in the language definition) - ?

They don't exactly align - it's the language specification that is 'the 
barrier' to conversion in simple cases such as slices made of elements with 
the same underlying types. The compiler is just matching the defined 
behaviour of the specification, whether or not going further would be easy 
to do.
