-- In this example we want to let the user call `close()` manually so that errors
-  from closing the file can be reported explicitly.
-
-- At the same time we still want RAII semantics: if the user forgets to call
-  `close()`, the handle must be cleaned up automatically in `Drop`.
-
-- Wrapping the handle in an `Option` gives us both behaviors. `close()` extracts
-  the handle with `take()`, and `Drop` only runs cleanup if a handle is still
-  present.
+- In this example we want to call `close` on the inner `Handle` in our `Drop`
+  impl, but `close` requires ownership of the `Handle`. We can't do this
+  normally, because we don't get ownership of the `File` object in `drop`, and
+  therefore can't move out of the field.
 
-  Demo: remove the `.close()` call and run the code — `Drop` now prints the
-  automatic cleanup.
+- Wrapping the handle in an `Option` gives us a way to move out of the field
+  through a mutable reference.
 
 - The main downside is ergonomics. `Option` forces us to handle both the `Some`
   and `None` case even in places where, logically, `None` cannot occur. Rust’s
