This is one of the options of addressing #1371.
The current example in Structure section uses lifetime annotation without any explanation.
In my opinion, using lifetime annotations so early on in the book may do more harm than good by confusing people. This PR makes it so that we avoids using lifetime annotations in the example all together similar to Rust programming language book https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch05-01-defining-structs.html.
It might be worthwhile to also have a lightweight section about ownership immediately after Structures section.
