Yes and that was a carefully constructed example explicitly to show problems with loops.... But underflows in loops are just not a common occurrence, which is why the example works in the first place.

No, it was an example from my experience and a bug I have had to fix multiple times, as I mentioned. I didn't make it up.


Sorry, yes you mentioned that. Anyway, this is a stupid thing to argue about and I apologize for my part in it.


Likewise, forgetting a `.collect()` call in Rust code doesn't happen, because the compiler will tell you without fail when it's given an iterator but expects an array.
