> And that will never be true

It is often true. Higher-level Rust code can and often does compile into the same assembly (or sometimes better!) than a lower-level construct. That's the entire premise of optimizing compilers. They're not perfect, but they do achieve this goal more often than "never".

See the Option comments above for one trivial example.
