+The following code fails to compile, because Rust sees that a variable, `map`,
+is borrowed twice, and can not infer that the first borrow stops to be needed
+before the second one occurs. This is caused by Rust conservatively falling back
+to using a whole scope for the first borow. This will eventually get fixed.
