-A `#[no_coverage]` attribute was incorrectly placed on something that couldn't
-be covered.
+A `#[no_coverage]` attribute was applied to something which does not show up
+in code coverage, or is too granular to be excluded from the coverage report.
+
+For now, this attribute can only be applied to function, method, and closure
+definitions. In the future, it may be added to statements, blocks, and
+expressions, and for the time being, using this attribute in those places
+will just emit an `unused_attributes` lint instead of this error.
