-Where a const argument is expected, an `_` (optionally surrounding by any number of matching parentheses), called the *inferred const* ([path rules][paths.expr.complex-const-params], [array expression rules][expr.array.length-restriction]), can be used instead. This asks the compiler to infer the const argument if possible based on surrounding information.
