Update E0716.md for clarity
When reading through this, I got slightly hung up thinking the `let` it was referring to was the `let tmp` on line 25, which was confusing considering the comment states that the temporary is freed at the end of the block. I think adding this clarification could potentially help some beginners like myself without being overly verbose.

 Whenever a temporary is created, it is automatically dropped (freed) according
 to fixed rules. Ordinarily, the temporary is dropped at the end of the enclosing
-statement -- in this case, after the `let`. This is illustrated in the example
-above by showing that `tmp` would be freed as we exit the block.

 To fix this problem, you need to create a local variable to store the value in
 rather than relying on a temporary. For example, you might change the original
