-Cannot mutate place in this match guard.
+The matched value was assigned in a match guard.
 
-When matching on a variable it cannot be mutated in the match guards, as this
-could cause the match to be non-exhaustive:
+Erroneous code example:
 
 ```compile_fail,E0510
 let mut x = Some(0);
 match x {
-    None => (),
-    Some(_) if { x = None; false } => (),
-    Some(v) => (), // No longer matches
+    None => {}
+    Some(_) if { x = None; false } => {} // error!
+    Some(_) => {}
 }
 ```

 Here executing `x = None` would modify the value being matched and require us
-to go "back in time" to the `None` arm.
