The method .into_owned() is meant to be used as an optimization when you
need to get a ~str from a Str, but don't want to unnecessarily copy it
if it's already a ~str.
This is meant to ease functions that look like
Previously they could work with the strings as slices using .as_slice(),
but producing ~str required copying the string, even if the vector
turned out be a &[~str] already.
I don't have any concrete uses for this yet, since the one conversion I've done to
&[S]
so far (see PR #8203) didn't actually need owned strings. But having this here may make usingStr
more attractive.It also may be worth adding an
into_managed()
function, but that one is less obviously useful thaninto_owned()
.
