We don't need to copy any elements if `at` is behind the last element
in the map. The last element is at index `self.v.len() - 1`, so we
should not copy if `at` is greater or equals `self.v.len()`.
core::slice was originally written to tolerate overflow (notably, with
slices of zero-sized elements), but it was never updated to use wrapping
arithmetic when overflow traps were added.
Also correctly handle the case of calling .nth() on an Iter with a
zero-sized element type. The iterator was assuming that the pointer
value of the returned reference was meaningful, but that's not true for
zero-sized elements.
Fixes#25016.
There were still some mentions of `~[T]` and `~T`, mostly in comments and debugging statements. I tried to do my best to preserve meaning, but I might have gotten some wrong-- I'm happy to fix anything :)
Between ffc5f1c, when grammar.md was created by copying parts of the
reference, and 8cf2552, when all EBNF was removed from reference.md,
there were parts of the grammar that were updated in reference.md but
not grammar.md, and then they weren't copied over because they existed
already, but they were slightly out of date.
Example: the `path_item : ident | "self" ;` rule in Use declarations was
changed from "mod" to "self" in the reference in 195fd9a but wasn't
updated in the grammar.
The reference was claiming all vectors all bounds-checked at run-time, when constant vectors are usually checked at compile-time.

I think there's a trivial missing word in the Mutability document. I reformatted the resulting paragraph in vim, which seems to match what the rest of the document is doing as far as word wrapping.
Edit: I found another minor thing as I continued reading.
P.S. I'm re-reading the docs, since so much has changed since my first read, and they've gotten even better! Nice job!

I was profiling my code again and this time AsRef<str> for String
was eating up a considerable chunk of my runtime; adding the inline
annotation made the program run almost twice as fast!
While I was at it I also added the annotation to other implementations
of AsRef as well as AsMut.
