rust/src/librustc_mir/borrow_check/prefixes.rs

//! From the NLL RFC: "The deep [aka 'supporting'] prefixes for an
//! place are formed by stripping away fields and derefs, except that
//! we stop when we reach the deref of a shared reference. [...] "
//!
//! "Shallow prefixes are found by stripping away fields, but stop at
//! any dereference. So: writing a path like `a` is illegal if `a.b`
//! is borrowed. But: writing `a` is legal if `*a` is borrowed,
//! whether or not `a` is a shared or mutable reference. [...] "
