I actually don't think so. I've seen plenty of Rust libraries that copy strings about 5 times unnecesssarily between usages, just because `.clone()`, substrings and co are so convenient. Those all could have been optimized away, but the authors of that code didn't knew or didn't try.

And if you do `MyAwesomeStructure::new()` you might actually trigger a whole bunch of allocations which are invisible.

So a "yes" from my side on Rusts ability to remove allocations if you try hard enough. A "no" however on allocations being extremely explicit and easy to see for non experts.
