What's in the Box?

Preemptive comment: the following output towards the second half:

    help: function arguments must have a statically known size, borrowed types always have a known size
      |
    3 | fn f<T>(&t: T)
      |         ^

is a bug that already has a PR to fix. It's supposed to point at the T and suggest the following instead:

    help: function arguments must have a statically known size, borrowed types always have a known size
      |
    3 | fn f<T>(t: &T)
      |            ^

I've added a link to the PR directly in the article to clear up the confusion!

You changed the function signature between your two code snippets, that makes it hard to understand what you mean.

Check out the context from TFA: this is a help message prescribing a change you could make (inserting a &). The signature is different because it's prescribing a different signature to fix the issue.
