From ae44e86c130852a2ec28e7ed146996cbaf6774ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steve Wooster Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 09:40:02 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Change "big ask" to "tall order" in Rustonomicon.

Also, it's easily mistaken for a typo; either "a big task" or "a big thing to ask" could plausibly work there. --- lifetimes.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lifetimes.md b/lifetimes.md index e21207e..45eb68b 100644 --- a/lifetimes.md +++ b/lifetimes.md @@ -107,8 +107,8 @@ This signature of `as_str` takes a reference to a u32 with *some* lifetime, and promises that it can produce a reference to a str that can live *just as long*. Already we can see why this signature might be trouble. That basically implies that we're going to find a str somewhere in the scope the reference -to the u32 originated in, or somewhere *even earlier*.
