minor wording tweak to slice::{as_ptr, as_mut_ptr}
Per rust-lang#37334, the slice-as-pointer methods mentioned that "modifying the slice may cause its buffer to be reallocated", when in fact modifying the *slice* itself would cause no such change. (It is a borrow, after all!) This is a tweak to the wording of that line to stress it's the *collection* that could cause the buffer to be reallocated.

I believe this is trying to refer to manipulating the data structure (e.g.
Vec) that owns the memory the slice is borrowing, but modifying the slice data through a slice can never cause reallocation.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
