branch to see if this has already been fixedURL to the section(s) of the book with this problem:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-00-understanding-ownership.html:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch10-03-lifetime-syntax.html:
Description of the problem:
I don't think it's possible for one feature to be the "Rust's most unique feature" while another is "Rust's most distinctive feature".
(The word "unique" is being used with the same meaning as "distinctive"; see #2314)
Suggested fix:
Drop one of the superlatives, perhaps while noting how the features are connected.
