Accessing a struct through an std::syn::MutexGuard using implicit
dereferencing can confuse the borrow checker. This situation arises when
obtaining mutable references to more than one field of the struct, which
is normally allowed.

However, when using implicit dereferencing, a mutable reference to the
the entire struct is taken. Thus, attempting to access another field in
this manner will lead to a compilation error.

A simple way to avoid this is to first obtain a mutable reference to the
struct using explicit dereferencing.
