Sorry, I meant `[u8]: Index<Idx>`. This makes more semantic sense that
"what ever can index a byte slice, it can also index BStr". This is
also how our CStr and the array primitive type implements its Index
operation.
They should be equivalent as libcore does
impl<T, I> Index<I> for [T] where I: SliceIndex<[T]> { ... }
