+A structure-literal syntax was used to create an item that is not a structure
+or enum variant.
+
+Example of erroneous code:
+
+```compile_fail,E0071
+type U32 = u32;
+let t = U32 { value: 4 }; // error: expected struct, variant or union type,
+                          // found builtin type `u32`
+```
+
+To fix this, ensure that the name was correctly spelled, and that the correct
+form of initializer was used.
+
+For example, the code above can be fixed to:
+
+```
+type U32 = u32;
+let t: U32 = 4;
+```
+
+or:
+
+```
+struct U32 { value: u32 }
+let t = U32 { value: 4 };
+```
