This is nice. In addition to the currencies already supported, AWS US customers can pay in Chilean Peso (CLP), Colombian Peso (COP), and Uruguayan Peso (UYU). AWS Europe customers can pay in Egyptian Pound (EGP), Nigerian Naira (NGN), Polish Zloty (PLN), Romanian Leu (RON), Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH).
AWS customers can now pay in additional local currencies, reducing foreign exchange costs and payment friction. To change your payment currency, go to the Billing and Cost Management page, select Payment Preferences, and choose your preferred currency.

This is true! This is how you use keywords as identifiers in Rust - with raw identifiers (r#). It's useful when working with external data formats that use keywords as field names:
```rust
#[derive(Deserialize)]
struct Message {
r#type: String, // maps to JSON "type" field
…
}
```

```rust
#[derive(Deserialize)]
