`clippy::ptr_arg`

Take &[T] or &str so callers can pass any borrowed slice without owning one first.

What it reads

Clippy, with the compiler behind it. The only pass that compiles.

Lowest tier: real, and rarely urgent.

The tier bounds how severe a rule may be; its category bounds the tier.

Turn it off, or make it blocking, without touching the code it flags:

rust-doctor --rule clippy::ptr_arg=off .
rust-doctor --rule clippy::ptr_arg=error .
