+An identifier that is neither defined nor a struct was used.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0422
+fn main () {
+ let x = Foo { x: 1, y: 2 };
+}
+```
+
+In this case, `Foo` is undefined, so it inherently isn't anything, and
+definitely not a struct.
+
+```compile_fail
+fn main () {
+ let foo = 1;
+ let x = foo { x: 1, y: 2 };
+}
+```
+
+In this case, `foo` is defined, but is not a struct, so Rust can't use it as
+one.
