Iterator invalidation, like pointer invalidation, remains a thing. Iterators and pointers are normally treated as ephemeral, except where guarantees are provided.

It is hard for me to imagine how "the compiler is well exercised and tested" could be perceived to mean the opposite. Explain?

I misread it as talking about modern c++ compilers and libraries being well exercised and tested, and contrasting that with rustc.
