 There are some concepts used in the previous code that haven't been explained
 yet, here's a brief explanation for the impatient readers:
 
-* `fun(&foo)` is used to pass an argument to a function *by reference*, rather
-  than by value (`fun(foo)`). For more details see [borrowing][borrow].
 * `std::mem::size_of_val` is a function, but called with its *full path*. Code
   can be split in logical units called *modules*. In this case, the
   `size_of_val` function is defined in the `mem` module, and the `mem` module
   is defined in the `std` *crate*. For more details, see
   [modules][mod] and [crates][crate].
