 You can't use type parameters on foreign items. Example of erroneous code:
 
 ```
-extern { fn some_func<T>(); }
+extern { fn some_func<T>(x: T); }
 ```
 
-Just remove the type parameter to make this code works:
+To fix this, replace the type parameter with the specializations that you
+need:
 
 ```
-extern { fn some_func(); }
+extern { fn some_func_i32(x: i32); }
+extern { fn some_func_i64(x: i64); }
