I have somethis that I find weird (maybe it is just me). The rust compiler does not like it when I do this:

self.cars[Cx].SetTmpStatus(self.cars[Cx].LoadedP());

I get error[E0502]: cannot borrow self.cars as immutable because it is also borrowed as mutable

The "cure" seems to be:

{                                                           
    let temp = self.cars[Cx].LoadedP();                     
    self.cars[Cx].SetTmpStatus(temp);                       
}

Where:

    pub fn LoadedP(&self) -> bool {self.loadedP}                                
    pub fn SetTmpStatus(&mut self, p: bool) {self.tmpStatus = p;}

Is this really necessary? Or is an "unintented consequence" of the borrow checker?
