"Chapter 4.6 Debugging" has some unclear explanations #255

Where in the docs did you come across this?

  1. In "Add logging to our game of life" section, there's no instruction which to put this code.
#![allow(unused_variables)]
fn main() {
extern crate web_sys;

// A macro to provide `println!(..)`-style syntax for `console.log` logging.
macro_rules! log {
    ( $( $t:tt )* ) => {
        web_sys::console::log_1(&format!( $( $t )* ).into());
    }
}
}
  1. And also this seems like a snippet from git history, which is uneasy to read.
