That's... not exactly relevant. :) Rust's iterators definitely resolve a lot of problems one might have with bounds checking, but there's still times when one is essentially required to do explicit indexing (e.g. iterating down a column of a multidimensional array) but in such a way that the bounds checks should be removable. My point was that, modulo bugs, rustc (more specifically, LLVM) will eliminate such bounds checks. With or without iterators.
