 `Vec<T>`. `&` and `&mut` are type constructors that take two inputs: a
 lifetime, and a type to point to.

+A type constructor F's *variance* is how the subtyping of its inputs affects the
 subtyping of its outputs. There are three kinds of variance in Rust:
 
 * F is *covariant* over `T` if `T` being a subtype of `U` implies
   `F<T>` is a subtype of `F<U>` (subtyping "passes through")
 * F is *contravariant* over `T` if `T` being a subtype of `U` implies
-  `F<U>` is a subtype of `F<U>` (subtyping is "inverted")

 It should be noted that covariance is *far* more common and important than
