 ## Liveness constraints
 
 A **liveness constraint** arises when some variable whose type
-includes a region R is live at some point P. This simply means that
+includes a region R is live at some [point] P. This simply means that
 the value of R must include the point P. Liveness constraints are
 computed by the MIR type checker.

 A liveness constraint `R live at E` is satisfied if `E` is a member of
 `Values(R)`. So to "apply" such a constraint to `Values`, we just have
 to compute `Values(R) = Values(R) union {E}`.
