-You can only define an inherent implementation for a type in the same crate
-where the type was defined. For example, an `impl` block as below is not allowed
-since `Vec` is defined in the standard library:
+An inherent implementation was defined for a type outside the current crate.

+Erroneous code example:
 
 ```compile_fail,E0116

 To fix this problem, you can do either of these things:
 
  - define a trait that has the desired associated functions/types/constants and
