   Ugh. IMO a bit benefit of Rust is that you can’t do wild-west-YOLO buffer twiddling without “unsafe,” so people will write better code.

   But it really looks like httparse missed the memo.

   iter::Bytes looks like an awkward wrapper around slices with all the safety removed. So you can port nasty C-style code right over.

   Seriously, it should not be hard to efficiently strip a prefix off a u8 slice in safe Rust. For example, split_first.
