+/// A macro for defining `#[cfg]` if-else statements.
+///
+/// The macro provided by this crate, `cfg_if`, is similar to the `if/elif` C
+/// preprocessor macro by allowing definition of a cascade of `#[cfg]` cases,
+/// emitting the implementation which matches first.
+///
+/// This allows you to conveniently provide a long list `#[cfg]`'d blocks of code
+/// without having to rewrite each clause multiple times.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// #[macro_use]
+/// extern crate cfg_if;
+///
+/// cfg_if! {
+///     if #[cfg(unix)] {
+///         fn foo() { /* unix specific functionality */ }
+///     } else if #[cfg(target_pointer_width = "32")] {
+///         fn foo() { /* non-unix, 32-bit functionality */ }
+///     } else {
+///         fn foo() { /* fallback implementation */ }
