Moving out of a member of a mutably borrowed struct is fine if you put something
back. `mem::replace` can be used for that:

```
struct TheDarkKnight;

impl TheDarkKnight {
fn nothing_is_true(self) {}
}

struct Batcave {
knight: TheDarkKnight
}

fn main() {
use std::mem;

let mut cave = Batcave {
knight: TheDarkKnight
};
let borrowed = &mut cave;

borrowed.knight.nothing_is_true(); // E0507
mem::replace(&mut borrowed.knight, TheDarkKnight).nothing_is_true(); // ok!
}
```
