+// comments, both doc comments and regular ones, used to trick rustdoc's doctest parser into
+// thinking that everything after it was part of the regular program. combined with the libsyntax
+// parser loop failing to detect the manual main function, it would wrap everything in `fn main`,
+// which would cause the doctest to fail as the "extern crate" declaration was no longer valid.
+// oddly enough, it would pass in 2018 if a crate was in the extern prelude. see
+// https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56727
