The Rust book on Guessing Game - Processing a Guess says that after compiling the example we'll get a warning. However, I didn't get one:

~/projects/rust $ cargo new guessing_game_2 --bin
     Created binary (application) `guessing_game_2` project
~/projects/rust $ cd guessing_game_2/
~/projects/rust/guessing_game_2 $ cargo build
   Compiling guessing_game_2 v0.1.0 (file:///home/vag/projects/rust/guessing_game_2)
    Finished debug [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.52 secs
~/projects/rust/guessing_game_2 $ cargo run
    Finished debug [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.0 secs
     Running `target/debug/guessing_game_2`
Hello, world!
~/projects/rust/guessing_game_2 $ cat > src/main.rs 
use std::io;

fn main() {
    println!("Guess the number!");

    println!("Please input your guess.");

    let mut guess = String::new();

    io::stdin().read_line(&mut guess)
        .expect("Failed to read line");

    println!("You guessed: {}", guess);
}

~/projects/rust/guessing_game_2 $ cargo build
   Compiling guessing_game_2 v0.1.0 (file:///home/vag/projects/rust/guessing_game_2)
    Finished debug [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.65 secs

According to the book I expected:

src/main.rs:10:5: 10:39 warning: unused result which must be used,
#[warn(unused_must_use)] on by default
src/main.rs:10     io::stdin().read_line(&mut guess);

I installed rust via https://rustup.rs/ and I got

$ rustc --version && cargo --version
rustc 1.12.0 (3191fbae9 2016-09-23)
cargo 0.13.0-nightly (109cb7c 2016-08-19)

I am on
