Identify when documetation comments have been missplaced in the
following places:
* After a struct element:
```rust
// file.rs:
struct X {
a: u8 /** document a */,
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:2:11: 2:28 error: found documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:2 a: u8 /** document a */,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
file.rs:2:11: 2:28 help: doc comments must come before what they document,
maybe a comment was intended with `//`?
```
* As the last line of a struct:
```rust
// file.rs:
struct X {
a: u8,
/// incorrect documentation
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 error: found a documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:3 /// incorrect documentation
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 help: doc comments must come before what they document,
maybe a comment was intended with `//`?
```
* As the last line of a `fn`:
```rust
// file.rs:
fn main() {
let x = 1;
/// incorrect documentation
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 error: found a documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:3 /// incorrect documentation
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Consider this code:
It is obviously wrong, doc comments have to be before items. The error rustc gives one is very weird however:
Is rust python?
Note this only seems to happen for structs. functions and traits display smarter error messages.
cc @nikomatsakis bc I've heard on irc he wants to be notified on weird errors.
