+An inherent `impl` was written on a dyn auto trait.
+
+Erroneous code example:
+
+```compile_fail,E0785
+#![feature(auto_traits)]
+
+auto trait AutoTrait {}
+
+impl dyn AutoTrait {}
+```
+
+Dyn objects allow any number of auto traits, plus at most one non-auto trait.
+The non-auto trait becomes the "principal trait".
+
+When checking if an impl on a dyn trait is coherent, the principal trait is
+normally the only one considered. Since the erroneous code has no principal
+trait, it cannot be implemented at all.
+
+Working example:
+
+```
+#![feature(auto_traits)]
+
+trait PrincipalTrait {}
+
+auto trait AutoTrait {}
+
+impl dyn (PrincipalTrait + AutoTrait + Send) {}
+```
