Tokio + RUSTFLAGS="--cfg docsrs" = Trouble

I'm adding "This is supported on crate features whatever and this_too only." to some documentation. I'm following @alice's advice (thank you @alice!). Cargo.toml has been updated. I'm working in Windows so setting the environment variable is...

set RUSTFLAGS=--cfg docsrs

Building...

cargo +nightly doc --all-features

Results in Tokio related errors...

error: could not compile `tokio` (lib) due to 1 previous error

Is that expected? Do I need to use something other docsrs? Is that an issue with Tokio that should be reported?

So docsrs is special and probably what I need. Using docs_rs instead produces this...

warning: unexpected `cfg` condition name: `docs_rs`

   = note: `#[warn(unexpected_cfgs)]` on by default

There's an issue for that.

And documentation.

Please file a bug with Tokio.

Done.

And, apparently, there is a 64k limit on the body size of issues. That was annoying.
