Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @steveklabnik (or someone else) soon. If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes. Please see the contribution instructions for more information. |

Make lifetime elision docs clearer Previously it said "It's forbidden to allow reasoning about types based on the item signature alone." I think that sentence is wrong. Rust **uses** the item signatures to perform type inference within the body. I think what's meant is the other way around: It does not infer types for item signatures. r? @steveklabnik
