are feature gates for tuple indexing and slicing properly enforced? #18180
Description
I have seen evidence that both tuple indexing and slicing syntax are silently allowed by rustc, rather than requiring the feature gate turned on to enable them.
It could be that I missed some step along the way where these features were officially enabled. But I think its more likely that someone has accidentally turned them both on somehow, especially since the team discussion from last Thursday on #18006 included statements that tuple-indexing is meant to be feature gated.
% cat /tmp/f.rs
fn main() {
let t = ('a', 'b', 'c');
let v = vec!['x', 'y', 'z'];
println!("t: {} v: {}", t.1, v[]);
}

Note that I demonstrated running both the release (0.12) and a recent development (4480caf) build of rustc on the file that is using these features without the gate.
