From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
Currently, we generate `HAS_` constants as long as the definition exists in
the source, regardless if it is cfg-ed out or not.
Currently, uses of `#[cfg]` present in both trait and impl, so it is not a
problem; however if only the impl side uses `#[cfg]` then `HAS_` constants
will incorrectly be true while it shouldnt't.
With `syn` support, we can now implement `#[cfg]` handling properly by
propagating the `#[cfg]` attributes to the constants.

There's also no need to clone; `ToTokens::to_tokens` takes `&self`.

Indeed. In that case I feel like the line is short enough and we can just inline
these and skip the helper function?
Best,

I think extracting the duplication is still worthwhile, and we might
need this elsewhere so I'd leave it in the helpers module. I don't
feel strongly though, so go with your preference.
