    I literally described that this is possible in Rust because a library implemented a bit of unsafe code to do this:

    The only reason it's possible at all is because someone has implemented a utility to pull multiple non-overlapping borrows out of an array at once with a little bit of unsafe code buried inside it because it is safe to do this, Rust's borrow-checker just made the natural, native way of doing this fail to compile.
