I don't want to have `~str` and `~[T]` in the language, so I'm not really motivated to spend time trying to paper over the confusion caused by them. I doubt most users of Rust realize that ~([1, 2, 3]) and ~[1, 2, 3] have different types, and dynamically sized types are not going to fix this. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
