rust errors in english

* cannot index a value of type `std::vec::Vec<T>`
Rust's vector type doesn't implement whatever-it-needs to be able to use the standard indexing operator ("[]") with it. Use .get(idx) or .get_mut(idx) instead.
* error: cannot move out of dereference of `&`-pointer
The thing rust is highlighting is used in a context where it must be 'moved'. "moved" seems to imply the same semantics as C++'s 'std::move'.
One fix is to make the receiver accept a &T of whatever T it wants, and fix the call site appropriately. A better fix is to just rewrite the code so that the receiver isn't used at all.
