+Subject: [PATCH] Allow generated source to be root module src.
+
+rustfmt::skip breaks compilation when used as a root module source. We
+don't run rustfmt on generated source anyhow.
+See https://github.com/stepancheg/rust-protobuf/issues/493#issuecomment-652874447
+
+Bug: 143953733
+Test: rust_protobuf can generate library variants.
