This is the best effort implementation that allows pushing iterator into ArrayString. There is no TryFromIterator trait yet and TryFrom<I> breaks blanket TryFrom<T> impl in std, so this is the next best thing - just a couple of inherent struct functions.

I think the API additions look sane to me, even if they're not official String API.

Why is this implemented as unsafe instead of using ArrayString::try_push?

Because I think that this function should be as performant as possible, and calling try_push will modify the len on every iteration. This way we can set it once when we're done, which seems to be more efficient.

Could you write a quick benchmark verifying that this improves performance over the naive try_push loop?

Sure, here are results on my machune:

test try_extend_bench ... bench:          28 ns/iter (+/- 2) = 146285 MB/s
test try_push_loop    ... bench:         336 ns/iter (+/- 13) = 12190 MB/s

I also fixed the other benches (at they were all optimized on my machine in just one LOAD of a capacity constant)
