+    ///
+    /// Cargo recognizes `lib.rs` and `main.rs` as the root of a
+    /// library or binary crate, so declaring them as modules
+    /// will lead to miscompilation of the crate unless configured
+    /// explicitly.
+    ///
+    /// To access a library from a binary target within the same crate,
+    /// use `your_crate_name::` as the path path instead of `lib::`:
+    ///
+    /// ```rust,compile_fail
+    /// // bar/src/lib.rs
+    /// fn run() {
+    ///     // ...
+    /// }
+    ///
+    /// // bar/src/main.rs
+    /// fn main() {
