+The `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]` attribute lets you specify a custom error
+message for when a particular trait isn't implemented on a type placed in a
+position that needs that trait. For example, when the following code is
+compiled:
+
+```compile_fail,E0232
+#![feature(rustc_attrs)]
+
+#[rustc_on_unimplemented(lorem="")] // error!
+trait BadAnnotation {}
+```
+
+there will be an error about `bool` not implementing `Index<u8>`, followed by a
+note saying "the type `bool` cannot be indexed by `u8`".
+
+For this to work, some note must be specified. An empty attribute will not do
+anything, please remove the attribute or add some helpful note for users of the
+trait.
