While it doesn't have this literal text, it already does have the equivalent: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch10-03-lifeti...

> Lifetime annotations don’t change how long any of the references involved live. In the same way that functions can accept any type when the signature specifies a generic type parameter, functions can accept references with any lifetime when the signature specifies a generic lifetime parameter. What lifetime annotations do is relate the lifetimes of multiple references to each other.

Cool. I haven't read the second version of the book, and I read the first version about two years ago I think. Glad to see this difficulty is now covered. Carry on with the great job Steve :)
