Anyway, back to our example. Since this memory is on the heap, it can stay
alive longer than the function which allocates the box. In this case, however,

it doesn’t[^1]. When the function is over, we need to free the stack frame
for `main()`. `Box<T>`, though, has a trick up its sleeve: [Drop][drop]. The
