+To not lose this lifetime single items can be "cast" to a slice of length _one_ with `std::slice::from_ref` while still taking advantage of `Deref`:
+
+```rust
+let queue_info = vk::DeviceQueueCreateInfo::builder()
+    .queue_family_index(queue_family_index)
+    .queue_priorities(&priorities);
+
+let device_create_info = vk::DeviceCreateInfo::builder()
+    .queue_create_infos(std::slice::from_ref(&queue_info))
+    ...;
+```
+
 Builders have an explicit lifetime, and are marked as `#[repr(transparent)]`.
 ```rust
 #[repr(transparent)]
