 promises that it can produce a reference to a str that can live *just as long*.
 Already we can see why this signature might be trouble. That basically implies
 that we're going to find a str somewhere in the scope the reference
-to the u32 originated in, or somewhere *even earlier*. That's a bit of a big

 We then proceed to compute the string `s`, and return a reference to it. Since
 the contract of our function says the reference must outlive `'a`, that's the
