<p dir="auto">Currently lifetimes has little docs on manual, I found <strong>14 matches for "lifetime"</strong> on <a href="http://static.rust-lang.org/master/doc/rust.html" rel="nofollow">http://static.rust-lang.org/master/doc/rust.html</a></p>
<p dir="auto">The <a href="http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial-borrowed-ptr.html#named-lifetimes" rel="nofollow">borrowed pointers tutorial mentions named lifetimes</a> but doesn't mention the apostrophe symbol, newcomers might get confused about that.</p>
<p dir="auto">Same goes for manual, there's no mention to apostrophe, just some examples using <strong>'static</strong>. It also lacks grammar production.</p>
<p dir="auto">[NOTE: I misread <code class="notranslate">'</code> as a backtick ]<br>
I've come across types with backticks aka `.</p>
<p dir="auto">Examples (from memory, could be wrong):</p>
<div class="snippet-clipboard-content notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="&amp;`a
`static"><pre class="notranslate"><code class="notranslate">&amp;`a
`static
</code></pre></div>
<p dir="auto">From reading <a href="http://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/pubs/2013.07.17-NEU.pdf" rel="nofollow">a presentation on memory</a> I guess one use is to denote lifetype scope (???).</p>
<p dir="auto">Since the compiler gives type errors that use backtick, it would be great to have a section on them.</p>
