 But before I delve into my latest proposal, I want to briefly discuss a key difference between my previous model and this one:
 "Types as Contracts" was a fully "validity"-based model, while "Stacked Borrows" is (to some extent) "access"-based.
 
+**Update:**
+Since publishing this post, I have written [another]({% post_url 2018-11-16-stacked-borrows-implementation %}) blog post about a slightly adjusted version of Stacked Borrows (the first version that actually got implemented).

 ## 1 Validity-based vs. Access-based
 
 An "access"-based model is one where certain properties -- in this case, mutable references being unique and shared references pointing to read-only memory -- are only enforced when the reference is actually used to *access* memory.

 I hope you now have a clear idea of the basic structure of the model I am proposing: The stack of borrows, the freeze flag, and references tagged with the time at which they got created.
 The full model is not quite as simple, but it is not much more complicated either.
