Thanks -- I will add something like that.

It has been such a long and recurrent topic in our discussions that I
guess I was writing from inside the Rust for Linux's bubble.

Just to give a bit more context, it is the most downloaded Rust crate
(according to crates.io). It (or something like it) is essentially a
necessity for writing complex macros without too much pain.
