Research direction

Start with the linked Crater log and inspect zerovec-0.8.1/src/flexzerovec/slice.rs around the reported data field and PartialEq derive. Reproduce the beta-1.82 rustdoc failure and determine whether the breakage is accepted; done means documenting that decision or restoring successful compilation if it is not.
