- [Visibility modifiers (e.g. `pub`) are now syntactically allowed on trait items and
enum variants.][66183] These are still rejected semantically, but
can be seen and parsed by procedural macros and conditional compilation.
- [You can now define a Rust `extern "C"` function with `Box<T>` and use `T*` as the corresponding
type on the C side.][62514] Please see [the documentation][box-memory-layout] for more information,
