 Here is a contrived example of where the borrow checker foils us in our plan to
 use a struct:
 
-```rust
+```rust,ignore
 struct Database {
     connection_string: String,
     timeout: u32,

 We can apply this design pattern and refactor `Database` into three smaller
 structs, thus solving the borrow checking issue:
