memory (so you can read from a Rust struct in C, and vice-versa). Use the dot
operator to access struct fields, as in `mypoint.x`.
Fields that you want to mutate must be explicitly marked `mut`.
Inherited mutability means that any field of a struct may be mutable, if the
struct is in a mutable slot (or a field of a struct in a mutable slot, and
so forth).
A struct that is not mutable due to inherited mutability may declare some
of its fields nevertheless mutable, using the `mut` keyword.

With a value of such a type, you can do `mystack.head += 1`. If `mut` were
omitted from the type, such an assignment would result in a type error.
omitted from the type, such an assignment to a struct without inherited
mutability would result in a type error.
`match` patterns destructure structs. The basic syntax is
`Name { fieldname: pattern, ... }`:
