+For the first code example, please check the function definition. Example:
 
 ```
 #![feature(intrinsics)]
 
 extern "rust-intrinsic" {
-    fn size_of<T>() -> usize;
+    fn size_of<T>() -> usize; // ok!
+}
+```
+
+The second case example is a bit particular : the main function must always
+have this definition:
+
+```
+fn main();
+```
+
+They never take parameters and never return types.
+
+For the third example, when you match, all patterns must have the same type
+as the type you're matching on. Example:
+
+```
+let x = 1u8;
+match x {
+    0u8...3u8 => (), // ok!
+    _ => ()
+}
+```
+
+And finally, for the last example, only `Box<Self>`, `&Self`, `Self`,
+or `&mut Self` work as explicit self parameters. Example:
+
+```
+struct Foo;
+
+impl Foo {
+    fn x(self: Box<Foo>) {} // ok!
 }
 ```
