The type you are trying to impl `CoerceUnsized` for is not a struct.
`CoerceUnsized` can only be implemented for a struct. Unsized types are
already able to be coerced without an implementation of `CoerceUnsized`
whereas a struct containing an unsized type needs to know the unsized type
field it's containing is able to be coerced. An [unsized type][1]
is any type that the compiler doesn't know the length or alignment of at
compile time. Any struct containing an unsized type is also unsized.

[1]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-04-advanced-types.html#dynamically-sized-types-and-the-sized-trait

Example of erroneous code:

```compile_fail,E0376
#![feature(coerce_unsized)]
use std::ops::CoerceUnsized;

struct Foo<T: ?Sized> {
    a: T,
}

// error: The type `U` is not a struct
impl<T, U> CoerceUnsized<U> for Foo<T> {}
```

The `CoerceUnsized` trait takes a struct type. Make sure the type you are
providing to `CoerceUnsized` is a struct with only the last field containing an
unsized type.

Example:

```
#![feature(coerce_unsized)]
use std::ops::CoerceUnsized;

struct Foo<T> {
    a: T,
}

// The `Foo<U>` is a struct so `CoerceUnsized` can be implemented
impl<T, U> CoerceUnsized<Foo<U>> for Foo<T> where T: CoerceUnsized<U> {}
```

Note that in Rust, structs can only contain an unsized type if the field
containing the unsized type is the last and only unsized type field in the
struct.
