Only tuple's method is renamed; list's method is a new API in 0.15.

👍 I 100% agree with doing this!

Can you please re-add .slice() as a deprecated API for one release cycle? It makes it easier for users to upgrade their code.

So, should the deprecated method continue to use isize indices as in 0.14? Otherwise, people will get a compile error instead of a deprecation warning anyway... (ok, not in all cases.)

Oooh good question! I think the original isize implementation is probably best? (Could potentially even copy it from 0.14 rather than try to implement it using the new APIs, for maximum backcompat.)
