possible regression: expected value, found module self

serde 0.8 fails to build with

  = note: this error originates in a macro outside of the current crate (in Nightly builds, run with -Z external-macro-backtrace for more info)

This is coming from doctest, so I'm not sure if it's a regression or expected behavior:

    /// Enables serializers to serialize byte slices more compactly or more
    /// efficiently than other types of slices. If no efficient implementation
    /// is available, a reasonable implementation would be to forward to
    /// `serialize_seq`. If forwarded, the implementation looks usually just like this:
    /// ```rust
    /// let mut state = try!(self.serialize_seq(value));
    /// for b in value {
    ///     try!(self.serialize_seq_elt(&mut state, b));
    /// }
    /// self.serialize_seq_end(state)
    /// ```
    fn serialize_bytes(&mut self, value: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Self::Error>;

Duplicate of #28712.

Working as intended.

This is not a duplicate of #28712. They aren't related, except that the code block should be separated for rustdoc to run it.

Nonetheless, that code block isn't valid Rust, so it won't compile regardless. That is, the error message is correct.
