I've put non-static &[u8]s into a map. Specifically, I have a function in one
of my sources that looks vaguely like
pub fn process_input<'a>(input: &'a [u8]) -> int {
let mut map: HashMap<&'a [u8], int> = HashMap::new();
// .. process the input using the map, then throw away the map
return result;
}
