I idly wonder if this is a place where we could use an (hypothetical) unreachable intrinsic and possibly even gain a little more speed, since the str invariant guarantees this code will never be hit.

Nice thought. I didn't want to put fail!() or similar in there, it would add failure to an otherwise failure less loop.

I forgot I did try

    unsafe {
        let ptr: *const u8 = mem::transmute(opt);
        *ptr
    }

as well, but it didn't improve anything much. @thestinger is a wizard and would know why, but I don't.

Well, the assembly/IR for that is certainly really nice: http://is.gd/MLxXeK

; Function Attrs: nounwind readonly uwtable
define i8 @deref(i8* nocapture readonly) unnamed_addr #0 {
entry-block:
  %1 = load i8* %0, align 1
  ret i8 %1
}

This branch will be really easy to predict, since the None arm is never taken, so maybe that is making it essentially costless?

Was this more performant than foo.unwrap_or(0) (the same width of characters basically)

Thank you for the comments! I didn't like the look of *foo.unwrap_or(&0), I think this is better
