+An array or slice pattern required more elements than were present in the
+matched array.
+
+Example of erroneous code:
+
+```compile_fail,E0528
+let r = &[1, 2];
+match r {
+    &[a, b, c, rest @ ..] => { // error: pattern requires at least 3
+                               //        elements but array has 2
+        println!("a={}, b={}, c={} rest={:?}", a, b, c, rest);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Ensure that the matched array has at least as many elements as the pattern
+requires. You can match an arbitrary number of remaining elements with `..`:
+
+```
+let r = &[1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
+match r {
+    &[a, b, c, rest @ ..] => { // ok!
+        // prints `a=1, b=2, c=3 rest=[4, 5]`
+        println!("a={}, b={}, c={} rest={:?}", a, b, c, rest);
+    }
+}
+```
