Add array window fn

Updated issue to #75027

Update to rm oob access

And hopefully fix docs as well

Fixed naming conflict in test

Fix test which used 1-indexing

Nth starts from 0, woops

Fix a bunch of off by 1 errors

See https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=nightly&mode=debug&edition=2018&gist=757b311987e3fae1ca47122969acda5a

Add even more off by 1 errors

And also write `next` and `next_back` in terms of `nth` and `nth_back`.

Run fmt

Fix forgetting to change fn name in test

add nth_back test & document unsafe

Remove as_ref().unwrap()
Documented occurrences of unsafe, noting what invariants are maintained
