In my original post I stated that it feels like there's something wrong
with the language when it doesn't allow multiple mutable references to
the same data, but I didn't really explain why it feels like that. So, I
just want to add this simple example to help explain my position. It is
just plain obvious to everybody that the following code snippet is
memory-safe, but the compiler refuses to compile it due to "cannot
borrow `stuff[..]` as mutable more than once at a time":
let mut stuff = [1, 2, 3];
let r1 = stuff.mut_slice_to(2);
let r2 = stuff.mut_slice_from(1);
I'd like to have a function that splits up a vector in that way. That
should be doable in the standard library using some unsafe code under
the hood.
