You can only implement `Copy` for a struct or enum. Both of the following
examples will fail, because neither `[u8; 256]` nor `&'static mut Bar`
(mutable reference to `Bar`) is a struct or enum:
The `Copy` trait was implemented on a type which is neither a struct nor an
enum.

Erroneous code example:

```compile_fail,E0206
type Foo = [u8; 256];
impl Copy for Foo { } // error
impl Copy for Foo { } // error!
#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
struct Bar;
impl Copy for &'static mut Bar { } // error
impl Copy for &'static mut Bar { } // error!
```
