The #[pointee] attribute is required even if there is only one generic parameter

[Darksonn]

Currently, the following code triggers a compilation failure.

#![feature(derive_smart_pointer)]
use core::marker::SmartPointer;

#[repr(transparent)]
#[derive(SmartPointer)]
struct MyArc<T: ?Sized> {
    inner: *mut T,
}

error: At least one generic type should be designated as `#[pointee]` in order to derive `SmartPointer` traits
 --> src/lib.rs:5:10
  |
5 | #[derive(SmartPointer)]
  |          ^^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
  = note: this error originates in the derive macro `SmartPointer` (in Nightly builds, run with -Z macro-backtrace for more info)

However, the RFC says that specifying #[pointee] when the struct has only one type parameter is allowed, but not required.

See also this patch on the LKML.

Oh, also, the error message says "At least one generic" but it's not valid to have several pointees.
