The read_exact implementation for &[u8] is optimized and usually allows LLVM to reduce a read_exact call for small numbers of bytes to a bounds check and a register load instead of a generic memcpy. On a workload I have that decompresses, deserializes (via bincode), and processes some data, this leads to a 40% speedup by essentially eliminating the deserialization overhead entirely.

Seems innocuous; shouldn't change any behavior.
