While that's a valid concern, it is an orthogoal issue as it can be similarly replicated in Rust as well. Rust references always track mutability but we can sidestep that by using `std::borrow::Cow`:

    fn compacted<T: ...>(input: Cow<'_, [T]>) -> Cow<'_, [T]> { ... }

Then it is clear that, for example, `compacted(vec![...].into());` as a statement will exhibit the same behavior because `Cow` doesn't have `#[must_use]`. Rust avoids this issue mainly by encouraging explicitly mutable or immutable values by default, and at this point the language should have substantially altered that Go can do the same.
