    //! A dynamically-sized view into a contiguous sequence, `[T]`.
    //!
    //! Slices are a view into a block of memory represented as a pointer and a
    //! length.
    //!
    //! ```
    //! // slicing a Vec
    //! let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
    //! let int_slice = &vec[..];
    //! // coercing an array to a slice
    //! let str_slice: &[&str] = &["one", "two", "three"];
    //! ```
    //!
    //! Slices are either mutable or shared. The shared slice type is `&[T]`,
    //! while the mutable slice type is `&mut [T]`, where `T` represents the element
    //! type. For example, you can mutate the block of memory that a mutable slice
    //! points to:
    //!
    //! ```
    //! let x = &mut [1, 2, 3];
    //! x[1] = 7;
    //! assert_eq!(x, &[1, 7, 3]);
    //! ```
    //!
    //! Here are some of the things this module contains:
    //!
    //! ## Structs
    //!
    //! There are several structs that are useful for slices, such as [`Iter`], which
    //! represents iteration over a slice.
    //!
    //! ## Trait Implementations
    //!
    //! There are several implementations of common traits for slices. Some examples
    //! include:
    //!
    //! * [`Clone`]
    //! * [`Eq`], [`Ord`] - for slices whose element type are [`Eq`] or [`Ord`].
    //! * [`Hash`] - for slices whose element type is [`Hash`].
    //!
    //! ## Iteration
    //!
    //! The slices implement `IntoIterator`. The iterator yields references to the
    //! slice elements.
    //!
    //! ```
    //! let numbers = &[0, 1, 2];
    //! for n in numbers {
    //!     println!("{} is a number!", n);
    //! }
    //! ```
    //!
    //! The mutable slice yields mutable references to the elements:
    //!
    //! ```
    //! let mut scores = [7, 8, 9];
    //! for score in &mut scores[..] {
    //!     *score += 1;
    //! }
    //! ```
    //!
    //! This iterator yields mutable references to the slice's elements, so while
    //! the element type of the slice is `i32`, the element type of the iterator is
    //! `&mut i32`.
    //!
    //! * [`.iter`] and [`.iter_mut`] are the explicit methods to return the default
    //!   iterators.
    //! * Further methods that return iterators are [`.split`], [`.splitn`],
    //!   [`.chunks`], [`.windows`] and more.
    //!

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
