<backtrace>

Reproduce the failure from code.rs with the reported rustc nightly version and inspect the resolver-for-lowering and HIR query cycle described in the diagnostics. Determine why the missing feature! macro and related cycle produce an internal compiler error; done means the example no longer ICEs and reports an appropriate diagnostic.
