How can you free something if it's not allocated
- steveklabnik 1y agoSorry, yeah that phrasing was bad: I kinda think an "owning reference" is a contradiction in terms but I didn't come up with the idea. What I meant was, creating a box creates a new allocation, whereas my understanding of &own would take over an existing allocation.
