 Fixing this borrowck issue requires more precision about flow-sensitivity. It also hints at limitations in our modeling of lifetimes, which appear more clearly in cases with only slightly more complicated control flow, like [issue #47680](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/47680):

 Out of the two key differences between Polonius and the existing borrow check (regions as "sets of loans", and computing subtyping relations at each point in the CFG), this step is aimed at resolving the *first* difference, but not the second, so we call it the "location *in*sensitive loans in scope" (because subtyping is being done once, not per location): the idea can be described as "NLLs with the Polonius model".

+Note that other aspects of the existing borrow checker are still flow-sensitive.
 
 In this step, we will compute the set of live loans via outlives constraints only, instead of computing the CFG points where regions are live (which is then used to compute when loans go out of scope). We believe this is equivalent to the existing borrow check in terms of the errors that get reported.

 If a similar experience to NLLs in edition 2018 is to be expected again, another substantial amount of work and polish will also be needed to handle diagnostic differences and issues, ensuring errors and notes are clear enough, as well as the documentation.
