This sounds lot better. I know, may be that all would have made sense once someone had developed an understanding of lifetimes. However, for me, one who was reading the book in a sequential order and to the one who considers 'The Book' as primary source of understanding of the language, I guess such elucidations are important. Especially when you have spent some decent efforts explaining few general programming concepts, which I really appreciate very much, it is paramount that you spend efforts in covering the language nuances. I think, yes, such clear coverage right at the time when you layout the rules in the ownership chapter is important, both for understanding and to save lot of experimental efforts to figure out things. And, you know, for a moment I even got doubtful about cargo implementation of the language, I guess which is not a great impression for newcomers. But on the other hand, I really love you all folks, both development team and the user members, wow, what an active folks you guys are! This really made me feel welcome to the language than anytime before!
