+// check-pass
+//
+// rust-lang/rust#73592: borrow_mut through Deref should work.
+//
+// Before #72280, when we see something like `&mut *rcvr.method()`, we
+// incorrectly requires `rcvr` to be type-checked as a mut place. While this
+// requirement is usually correct for smart pointers, it is overly restrictive
+// for types like `Mutex` or `RefCell` which can produce a guard that
+// implements `DerefMut` from `&self`.
+//
+// Making it more confusing, because we use Deref as the fallback when DerefMut
+// is implemented, we won't see an issue when the smart pointer does not
+// implement `DerefMut`. It only causes an issue when `rcvr` is obtained via a
+// type that implements both `Deref` or `DerefMut`.
+//
+// This bug is only discovered in #73592 after it is already fixed as a side-effect
+// of a refactoring made in #72280.
