`IndexRange::len` is justified as an overall invariant, and
`take_prefix` and `take_suffix` are justified by local branch
conditions. A few more UB-checked calls remain in cases that are only
supported locally by `debug_assert!`, which won't do anything in
distributed builds, so those UB checks may still be useful.
We generally expect core's `#![rustc_preserve_ub_checks]` to optimize
away in user's release builds, but the mere presence of that extra code
can sometimes inhibit optimization, as seen in #131563.
