Is there a document anywhere explaining what this change means in practice?

The change was part of the 2018 edition already, so is covered in the 2018 book: https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/ownership-...

As an experienced Rust developer I can usually deal with the borrow checker, but sometimes I'm still annoyed by its limitations or hit them without expecting to hit them. Most of the times this happens it's either because I want to partially access a struct in a closure, or do something that's now allowed by NLL. So this is a big deal.

In a very meta way, this means the programmer can get away with more while the safety guarantees are still upheld.
