Hello Rust community! I've been busying myself over the past few weeks learning the different features of rust, and I have been working on an implementation of Conway's game of life (while trying to explore different features of rust.
In 0.9, it was changed so that you cannot dereference haskell-like "NewTypes" with the * operator. In the 0.9 documentation, it says we can use pattern matching to extract the underlying type. Right here in my 0.8 code I dererenced the row parameter here: https://github.com/ShortStomp/ConwayGameOfLife-RUST/blob/master/grid.rs#L42 which is a simple 'NewType', with underlying type uint. My question is, instead of dereferencing the 'Row' and 'Column' types, how can I use pattern matching here, to get the underlying uint to index the array with the code I just linked? Thanks in advance! :)
