+The `#[rustc_const_unstable(feature = "foo", issue = "1234", reason = "lorem
+ipsum")]` has the same interface as the `unstable` attribute. It is used to mark
+`const fn` as having their constness be unstable. Every `const fn` with
+stability attributes should carry either this attribute or
+`#[rustc_const_stable]` (see below).
 
 Furthermore this attribute is needed to mark an intrinsic as `const fn`, because
 there's no way to add `const` to functions in `extern` blocks for now.
