  let mut a_mut_binding: &mut _ = // …
  
  //                                      the lifetime placeholder has to be
  //                                          named `'polonius` !!
  //                                               vvvvvvvvv
  let x = polonius!(|a_mut_binding| -> SomeRetType<'polonius> {
      let some_dependent_type = stuff(a_mut_binding);
      if some_cond() {
          polonius_return!(some_dependent_type);
      }
      if some_other_cond() {
          exit_polonius!(42);
          unreachable!();

  assert_eq!(x, 42);
  stuff(a_mut_binding) // macro gave it back
  // …
