Description
Another interesting question that @tschottdorf encountered when implementing default binding modes: What do we do with constants? The RFC specifies that we ought to treat a FOO
binding that resolves to a constant as something which can skip through &T
types -- however, that runs into trouble if the type of the constant itself is &str
or &[T]
. The current logic at least skips through all &T
or &mut T
types when it skips through any, but handling &str
correctly would require skipping through "only the right number".
@tschottdorf implemented various rules but we should at minimum update the RFC to match.
