![]() The spec section on conversions uses the terms "slice of bytes" and "slice of runes". While not obviously clear, what is meant are slice types whose element types are byte or rune types; specifically the underlying types of the slices' element types must be byte or rune. Some of this was evident from the examples, but not all of it. Made this clearer by adding more examples illustrating various permitted conversions. Note that the 1.17 compiler did not accept the following conversions: string([]myByte{...}) string([]myRune{...}) myString([]myByte{...}) myString([]myRune{...}) (where myByte, myRune, and myString have underlying types of byte, rune, and string respectively) - it reported an internal error. But it did accept the inverse conversions: []myByte("...") []myRune("...") []myByte(myString("...")) []myRune(myString("...")) The 1.18 compiler made those conversions symmetric and they are now permitted in both directions. The extra examples reflect this reality. Fixes #23814.
