While reading this, the comment made it difficult for me to simply absorb the concept. It interrupted my reading flow, and I think this expresses the same meaning, but reads a bit better. It's trivial, but makes it easier for me to move on to the next line.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @steveklabnik (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

"the borrowed" refers to the vector (or vectors), not to the reference. What could be said is "does not allow mutation through the borrowed reference".

Or just "does not allow mutation of the borrowed vectors." (?)

I like "through" I think it helps me understand better.
