Research direction

Open src/vec/vec-into-iter.md around line 62 and inspect the comment in the Vec::into_iter example. Compare the use of “Drop” with the surrounding code and issue question, then correct the comment if the wording is wrong. Done means the example comment accurately describes why Vec cannot be destructured.
