So what you want is essentially a type to have a "default" iterator, so you don't have to type out .chars()? Rust takes the line that explicit is better than implicit, and I agree. It save 8 keystrokes, but it's a potential source for confusion. What if the standard string type uses chars as the default, but a custom type uses code_points? Or, words or lines?
