Description

Was reading this https://rust-lang.github.io/rustc-guide/walkthrough.html and I thought that it could be very nice if we can explain the actual code of the PR. It seems like a feature that touches a lot of parts of the compiler so it may be a good idea to explain things there or later in the guide but using this same example.

Research direction

Start with the existing Walkthrough at rust-lang.github.io/rustc-guide/walkthrough.html and identify the example or PR whose technical implementation should be explained. Map which compiler areas it touches before proposing guide sections. Done means the same example has a clear explanation of its relevant code and compiler interactions.
