fn main() {
let b = Bar;
let f = match b {
b => b.get_foo(),
};
println!("Hi: {f:?}");
}

error: could not compile `playground` (bin "playground") due to 1 previous error
Desired output
It should mention that borrowing b
would allow (or might allow?) the lifetime to be fine.
Rationale and extra context
The fact that match
moves values is not super intuitive due to auto-refs. As using T
or &T
uses the same syntax. This does not make it always apparent what the value inside the different arms actually is. And even with inline hints, this could be easily missed due to the mental model being 'correct', despite not matching what the user wrote.
