I'm currently reading the rust book and this variable name tripped me up.
Because it was called "input", I thought at first it might contain the line
read by read_line(). This new variable name will be more instructive to rust
beginners.
The doc indicates that you can replace 'before' with 'after' showing the use of try!. The two examples should be equivalent, but they are not.
In the File::create we were inducing a panic before in case of error, not propagating. It is important for newbies (like myself) to understand that try! propagates failures, while unwrap can induce a panic.
The other alternative is to make the 'before' File::create also manually handle Err like the other calls. Either way it would be consistent.
- `FIle::open` is for opening a file in read-only mode
- `FIle::create` is for opening a file in write-only mode, which is what we want instead for this example to make sense
"Idiomatic code should not use extra whitespace in the middle of a line to provide alignment."

I realize the linked page still needs an RFC, but the docs should be written in accordance with the guidelines nevertheless.
This commit is an attempt to standardize the use of punctuation and
formatting in "The Rust Programming Language" as discussed in #19823.
- Convert bold text to italicized textcwhen referring to terminology.
- Convert single-quoted text to italicized or double-quoted text,
depending on context.
- Use double quotes only in the case of scare quotes or quotations.
