 These point to memory _owned by some other value_. When a shared reference to
 a value is created it prevents direct mutation of the value. [Interior
 mutability] provides an exception for this in certain circumstances. As the

 These also point to memory owned by some other value. A mutable reference type
 is written `&mut type` or `&'a mut type`. A mutable reference (that hasn't been
