This adds a note below the &str representation example explaining that the example provided should not be used under normal circumstances..

Would it make sense to point people in the direction of the method(s) they should use instead? I left it out in the interest of not complicating the documentation, but, there's definitely an argument to be made for adding a bit of guidance in there.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @steveklabnik (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

I'd love to take a pass at that. I'll get that added in tomorrow. Thanks for the quick feedback!

Updated the note to include a recommendation to use .as_slice() instead.

Also, probably should have mentioned in the initial PR, but, this if for issue #33637
