Confusing language in 10.3, Lifetime Annotation Syntax #1144
Description
The sentence "The names of lifetime parameters are usually all lowercase, and like generic types, their names are usually very short. 'a is the name most people use as a default." is made confusing, in my opinion, by the addition of the last three superfluous words. The word "default" carries with it an implication of a value the software supplies if you don't. That's not at all what is being talked about there. It's simply the choice of the name for a lifetime. I think this would be improved by eliminating the last three words: "The names of lifetime parameters are usually all lowercase, and like generic types, their names are usually very short. 'a is the name most people use."
