Fun trick regarding the nesting depth, I believe that if you click on the comment permalink itself, it will still let you reply. Regardless, no worries :)
I was totally forgetting rerun-if-changed! This is indeed a barrier in the general case. I think that it doesn't affect this crate, but I am not 100% sure. Regardless, thank you!
So, neither cargo nor the compiler really know of the paths, and cannot accordingly rebuild the sources when they change.
Perhaps they can only change when a corresponding version cargo does know about changes, anyhow, bypassing the build/module system with a proc macro is probably not something to be done lightly.
