 destructuring. You can assign one tuple into another, if they have the same

+The second of these traits is called [`Sync`](../std/marker/trait.Sync.html).
 When a type `T` implements `Sync`, it indicates to the compiler that something
 of this type has no possibility of introducing memory unsafety when used from
 multiple threads concurrently.
 
 For example, sharing immutable data with an atomic reference count is
 threadsafe. Rust provides a type like this, `Arc<T>`, and it implements `Sync`,
