Is this more of a niche complaint, or something that will hit a practitioner pretty quickly?

A practitioner oughtn't hit this at all, since the cited chapter contains no leaks. It's actually quite difficult to leak memory accidentally in Rust, short of using the `std::mem::forget` function whose sole purpose is to deliberately leak memory (which can be useful for C interop).
