This indicates that any movable place expression of type
&mut Tcan be dereferenced to yield a mutable place.Presently the rule only lists variables and fields of variables. However, if a
&mut Tis contained within a movableBox, it is also valid to deref the&mut Tand use the resulting place mutably, even if theBoxwas immutable. See the following playgrounds:BoxvariableBoxvariable (correctly) does not yield a mutable place.
