<p>This is the same situation as in #1040477. This is an issue wrt
how we generate the semvers. I image rust-proc-macro-crate-1 would
pose the same problem. Quoting you from 1040477:</p>

<p>Is the only workaround dropping Ma:same here ? <br>
</p>
<p>Unfortunately we need the semvers (but try to keep them to a
minimum).</p>
<p>CC'd Fabian since he is a bit more knowledgable than me here.</p>
