I don't understand why this would be a good thing. Ranges are a more modern implementation of iterators and are much more easily composed. Ranges are also trivially memory safe, and I doubt that split current/end iterators can provide memory safety with only references. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list Rust-dev@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
