-          # To reproduce: 
-          # 1. Install the version of Rust that is failing. Example: 
-          #    rustup install 1.80.1
-          # 2. Run the command that failed with that version. Example:
-          #    cargo +1.80.1 check -p datafusion
-          # 
-          # To resolve, either:
-          # 1. Change your code to use older Rust features, 
-          # 2. Revert dependency update
-          # 3. Update the MSRV version in `Cargo.toml`
