+Rust can't find a base type for an implementation you are providing, or the type
+cannot have an implementation. For example, only a named type or a trait can
+have an implementation:
+
+```
+type NineString = [char, ..9] // This isn't a named type (struct, enum or trait)
+impl NineString {
+    // Some code here
+}
+```
+
+In the other, simpler case, Rust just can't find the type you are providing an
+impelementation for:
+
+```
+impl SomeTypeThatDoesntExist {  }
+```
+"##,

 There are conflicting trait implementations for the same type.
