This branch adds logic for identifying the bounds-checking code that rustc automatically inserts around array and slice accesses and for discarding rewrites that would normally be generated for that code. Trying to rewrite this code is pointless because the code is derived automatically from other parts of the function, and it can trigger errors due to the rewriter not having a distinct place in the source code where it can apply the rewrites.
In the future, we could potentially extend this to skip rewrites on overflow assertions as well.
