I have the following function:

fn add_equal(x: &mut Complex, y: &Complex) {
    x.real += y.real;
    x.imag += y.imag;
}

Calling the function with the same variable being passed to both arguments
(i.e. add_equal(&mut c, &c)), results in the compile error:

error: cannot borrow `c` as immutable because it is also borrowed as mutable

I am guessing this is to avoid aliasing issues? What is the way around this?

Thanks
