 A `for` expression is a syntactic construct for looping over elements provided
 by an implementation of `std::iter::IntoIterator`. If the iterator yields a
-value, that value is given the specified name and the body of the loop is
-executed, then control returns to the head of the `for` loop. If the iterator
-is empty, the `for` expression completes.

-A *`let` statement* introduces a new set of [variables], given by a [pattern]. The
-pattern is followed optionally by a type annotation and then optionally by an
