+A macro listed for reexport was not found.

+```compile_fail,E0470
+#[macro_reexport(drink, be_merry)]
+extern crate collections;

+fn main() {

+Either the listed macro is not contained in the imported crate, or it is not
+exported from the given crate.
+
+This could be caused by a typo. Did you misspell the macro's name?

+Double-check the names of the macros listed for reexport, and that the crate
