+// This is a test for the new temporary lifetime behaviour as implemented for RFC 3606.
+// In essence, with #3606 we can write the following variable initialisation without
+// a borrow checking error because the temporary lifetime is automatically extended.
+// ```rust
+// let x = if condition() {
+//    &something()
+// } else {
+//    &something_else()
+// };
+// ```
+// More details can be found in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3606
