Seems like an easy win! I'm kind of surprised nobody did this already. I guess someone will need to reimplement this by hand given Rust's AI policy, but this is still great because it demonstrates that it's a really good idea.

  Rust's AI policy does not strictly forbid AI generated code, but it does require it to be used in a kind of responsible way. What that means though it pretty abstract even to me.
  As for whether this change will make it in, the devil is as always in the details and will depend on whether this solution can work for all the edge cases in the language.
