Good catch!

The code below

    if self.end > slice.len() {
        return None;
    }

is rightfully `>` as it's okay to have end being equal to the length. I suppose
this is what you mean by "somewhere else in the code"?

This one though should indeed be `>=`, and I've obviously messed this one up.

Best,
