I'm working on a project right now where I'd like to temporarily construct a dense slot map, use it for a while, then convert all my keys to indices and the slotmap into a vec to remove indirection for use. While this could be done manually with drain or other existing API, it would be much more efficient to be able to reuse the internal logic to destruct the slotmap for the inner value vec and perform get() calls and return the index instead of the value at that index. I figured someone else might want this API extension.

Also, the random changes outside of .get_dense_index() and .into_dense() are from cargo fmt automatically running. I can undo those if you'd like.
