    /// intentional.
    ///
    /// **Known problems:** If expression contains any deref coercions or
    /// indexing operations they are assumed not to have any side effects.
    ///
    /// **Example:**
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// struct Event {
    ///     id: usize,
    ///     x: i32,
    ///     y: i32,
    /// }
    ///
    /// fn copy_position(a: &mut Event, b: &Event) {
    ///     a.x = b.x;
    ///     a.y = a.y;
    /// }
