Description

15.3.2 Scoping Rules > Borrowing > Aliasing

Sorry if this should be inherently understood, but why is this section called "Aliasing"? It is explaining some rules around borrowing. Nothing about the actual content of the section mentions aliases at all.

Research direction

Start with the Rust by Example section titled “15.3.2 Scoping Rules > Borrowing > Aliasing” and read its surrounding borrowing material. Determine whether the heading should be renamed or the section clarified; it is done when the heading and content clearly match or the reason for the title is documented.
