<!--
The proc_macro/alloc/test limitation may be lifted if the `--extern`
flag is stabilized and used. See tracking issue
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57288 and the unstable
`--extern` flag added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54116.
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/57288 for more about the
alloc/test limitation.
