Documentation for Vec does not list iter() method

[Swatinem]

So rustdoc does not list the .iter() method on the page for Vec itself.
This might be extremely confusing for newcomers.

Actually impl<T> Deref for Vec<T> type Target = [T]
And impl<T> SliceExt for [T]
And SliceExt defines the .iter() method.

So this does all make sense, but I don’t think a newcomer can wrap his head around that. I spent 5 minutes looking this up myself after I introduced Rust to a group of people.

We have an issue open already to improve rustdoc's handling of Deref, so I'm gonna give this a close.

I 100% agree with you that this is a current pain point. The beta cycle is going to be dedicated to polish, and this is high on my list. But I don't want to keep two issues open. Thank you!

This is #19190 just for reference, thanks!
