+## Variant visibility
+
+Enum variants syntactically allow a [_Visibility_] annotation, but this is
+rejected when the enum is validated. This allows items to be parsed with a
+unified syntax across different contexts where they are used.

+macro_rules! mac_variant {
+    ($vis:vis $name:ident) => {
+        enum $name {

+
+            $vis Struct { f: u8 },
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+// Empty `vis` is allowed.
+mac_variant! { E }
+
+// This is allowed, since it is removed before being validated.
+#[cfg(FALSE)]

+## Item visibility
+
+Trait items syntactically allow a [_Visibility_] annotation, but this is
+rejected when the trait is validated. This allows items to be parsed with a
+unified syntax across different contexts where they are used. As an example,
+an empty `vis` macro fragment specifier can be used for trait items, where the
+macro rule may be used in other situations where visibility is allowed.
+
+```rust
+macro_rules! create_method {
+    ($vis:vis $name:ident) => {
+        $vis fn $name(&self) {}
+    };
+}
+
+trait T1 {
+    // Empty `vis` is allowed.
+    create_method! { method_of_t1 }
+}
+
+struct S;
+
+impl S {
+    // Visibility is allowed here.
+    create_method! { pub method_of_s }
+}
+
+impl T1 for S {}
+
+fn main() {
+    let s = S;
+    s.method_of_t1();
+    s.method_of_s();
+}
