Summary
vec-const attempts to construct a Vec from a pointer to a const slice
Details
Affected versions of this crate claimed to construct a const Vec with nonzero length and capacity, but that cannot be done because such a Vec requires a pointer from an allocator.
The implementation was later changed to just construct a std::borrow::Cow.
