Slicing syntax very unergonomic in latest nightly

[mahkoh]

This no longer works:

s[i+j..].to_string() // s is a &str

You now have to write

(&s[(i+j)..]).to_string()

At this point using slice_from is more ergonomic.

Fixed by #20720

At least the precedence issue.

For everything except str you don't need the (&...), that is a known bug. I'm not sure if there is an issue open for it (@japaric, did you find/open one?). If not let's re-open this one and rename it to make clear the (&...) for str thing

I think @huonw took care of the rest in #20744.
