Originally, this was my 30 minute introduction, and we eventually made
it the opener to the book. But as #25918 has shown, the example I use
here has some issues. The good news is that Rust makes heap allocation
syntatically expensive, but the bad news is that that means showing
equivalent programs from Rust and other languages is difficult. After
thinking about it, I'm not sure this section is pulling its weight, and
since it has problems, I'd rather just pull it than try to re-write it
right now. I think the book is fine without it.
