what is the reason for this error...

Looks like this crate can be used only with nightly compiler, but a quick search through the docs didn't reveal anything about it. Could someone provide a more full explanation?

As for the fix, just install the nightly toolchain (rustup toolchains add nightly) and use it for the project (cargo +nightly build).

Also make sure you have the latest compiler version. Older versions (such as the ones frozen in time in Linux distros) may be older than this feature.
