 Immutable static items are stored in the read-only data section.
 The constant value bound to a static item is, like all constant values, evaluated at compile time.
 Static items have the `static` lifetime, which outlives all other lifetimes in a Rust program.
+Only values stored in the global data section (such as string constants
+and static items) can have the `static` lifetime;
+dynamically constructed values cannot safely be assigned the `static` lifetime.
 Static items are declared with the `static` keyword.
 A static item must have a _constant expression_ giving its definition.

     References arise by (automatic) conversion from owning pointers, managed pointers,

     for example `&int` means a reference to an integer.
     Copying a reference is a "shallow" operation:
     it involves only copying the pointer itself.
