why can't I compare a &str to a Rc<String>
-
right, if there's a common trait target both are aiming for, I imagine it's really ambiguous which common type the compiler would make both deref to in order to make the trait work
It's not ambiguous at all (if it was, &* wouldn't work either). The impls don't even have to be related, there just has to be more than one of them.

It's just because the compiler chooses not to autoderef to satisfy traits (which I suspect has a good reason, but I've always seen as relatively arbitrary)
