I think the point is despite the example is very simple, it's 
required to have very detailed knowledge about the Rust compiler 
and its lifetime system in order to understand this problem. Sure 
you rewrite in some undefined "idiomatic Rust" but is it good 
language design when such detailed knowledge and order of 
statements is required?

D is in the other end of this spectrum, it swallows almost 
anything.
