This constant is expected to be a unique string within the compiled binary which preceeds a definition of the metadata. It begins with rustcpp~metadata, which is printable to make it easier to locate when looking at a binary dump of the metadata.

NOTE: In the future we may want to use a object file parser and a custom section rather than depending on this string being unique.
