An Option? Have a slice!

In 2024, I added the `Option::as_slice` and `Option::as_mut_slice` methods to libcore. This talk is about what motivated the addition, and looks into the no less than 4 different implementations that made up the methods. It also shows that even without a deep understanding of all compiler internals, it is possible to add changes both to the compiler and standard library.
