The signature of `overwrite` is clearly valid: it takes mutable references to
two values of the same type, and overwrites one with the other. If `&mut T` was
variant over T, then `&mut &'a str` would be a subtype of `&mut &'static str`,
since `&'a str` is a subtype of `&'static str`. Therefore the lifetime of
variant over T, then `&mut &'static str` would be a subtype of `&mut &'a str`,
since `&'static str` is a subtype of `&'a str`. Therefore the lifetime of
`forever_str` would successfully be "shrunk" down to the shorter lifetime of
`string`, and `overwrite` would be called successfully. `string` would
subsequently be dropped, and `forever_str` would point to freed memory when we
