 `always_returns_true` is a function that, clearly, will return `true` for any possible 8-bit unsigned integer.
 After all, *every* possible value for `x` will be less than 150 or bigger than 120.

-[^godbolt]: In case this changes with future Rust versions, [here is the same example on godbolt](https://godbolt.org/z/JX4B4N); the `xor eax, eax` indicates that the function returns 0, aka `false`. And [here is a version for C++](https://godbolt.org/z/PvZGQB); imagine calling `make_true(true)` which *should* always return `true` but as the assembly shows will return `false`.
