There was a problem hiding this comment.
This entire match is a noop, i.e. the pick_step method should just return self.pick_autorefd_method(step) (maybe in the None branch in the match above it?).
Part of rust-lang#18469 [breaking-change] A receiver will only ever get a single auto-reference. Previously arrays and strings would get two, e.g., [T] would be auto-ref'ed to &&[T]. This is usually apparent when a trait is implemented for `&[T]` and has a method takes self by reference. The usual solution is to implement the trait for `[T]` (the DST form).
