+The lang attribute is intended for marking special items that are built-in to
+Rust itself. This includes special traits (like `Copy` and `Sized`) that affect
+how the compiler behaves, as well as special functions that may be automatically
+invoked (such as the handler for out-of-bounds accesses when indexing a slice).
+Erroneous code example:

+```compile_fail
+#![feature(lang_items)]

+#[lang = "cookie"]
+fn cookie() -> ! { // error: definition of an unknown language item: `cookie`
+    loop {}
