What's cf?

At the end of Chapter 5 Borrowing (emphasis mine):
These have the syntax &'a T (_cf_ &T).
What's cf? The next sentence makes sense to me, so I guess I'm just being thrown by a contraction or abbreviation that is escaping me?
P.S. Thank you _so much_ for this! As an experienced C++ programmer, this is exactly the perspective for an intro to Rust I've been looking for.
That should be "c.f.", an abbreviation for "contrast with".
I'm glad you like the docs, but beware that they are a bit out of date in places - I haven't had the time to maintain this or continue writing, which makes me a bit sad.
Hm. Did not know that! :) Thanks.
You're still saving me (and probably others) lots of time with such a great focused intro to Rust.
I'll make a PR for you and feed you back the (very minor) issues I've found, so at least the doc will get a little love. ;)
If I don't know the answer, I'll just open another issue here, and you can let me know what to put into the PR. :)
