The `DispatchFromDyn` trait was implemented on something which is not a pointer
or a newtype wrapper around a pointer.

Erroneous code example:

```compile-fail,E0378
#![feature(dispatch_from_dyn)]
use std::ops::DispatchFromDyn;

struct WrapperExtraField<T> {
ptr: T,
extra_stuff: i32,
}

impl<T, U> DispatchFromDyn<WrapperExtraField<U>> for WrapperExtraField<T>
where
T: DispatchFromDyn<U>,
{}
```

The `DispatchFromDyn` trait currently can only be implemented for
builtin pointer types and structs that are newtype wrappers around them
— that is, the struct must have only one field (except for`PhantomData`),
and that field must itself implement `DispatchFromDyn`.

Examples:

```
#![feature(dispatch_from_dyn, unsize)]
use std::{
Expand All @@ -20,6 +38,8 @@ where
{}
```

Another example:

```
#![feature(dispatch_from_dyn)]
use std::{

Example of illegal `DispatchFromDyn` implementation
(illegal because of extra field)

```compile-fail,E0378
#![feature(dispatch_from_dyn)]
use std::ops::DispatchFromDyn;

struct WrapperExtraField<T> {
ptr: T,
extra_stuff: i32,
}

impl<T, U> DispatchFromDyn<WrapperExtraField<U>> for WrapperExtraField<T>
where
T: DispatchFromDyn<U>,
