 Lang items are already implemented in the standard library. Unless you are
 writing a free-standing application (e.g. a kernel), you do not need to provide
 them yourself.

 In Rust, you can only move a value when its size is known at compile time.
 
 To work around this restriction, consider "hiding" the value behind a reference:
 either `&x` or `&mut x`. Since a reference has a fixed size, this lets you move
