closes #21630
Overloaded indexing (
&[mut] foo[bar]
) only works when<Self as Index>::Output
is the same as<Self as IndexMut>::Output
(see issue above). To restrict implementations ofIndexMut
that doesn't work, this PR makesIndexMut
a supertrait overIndex
, i.e.trait IndexMut<I>: Index<I>
, just like in thetrait DerefMut: Deref
case.This breaks all downstream implementations of
IndexMut
, in most cases this simply means removing thetype Output = ..
bit, which is now redundant, fromIndexMut
implementations:impl Index<Foo> for Bar { type Output = Baz; .. } impl IndexMut<Foo> for Bar { - type Output = Baz; .. }
