+`VmType`, `Getable` and `Pushable` can be implemented on any type which only consists of types which in turn implements

-`VmType`, `Getable` and `Pushable` can be derived for types that consist only of types that
-already implement the respective traits. In the case of `VmType` you also have to specify
-the Gluon type the Rust type maps to, using the `#[gluon(vm_type = "<gluon_type>")]` attribute.
+Sometimes when deriving `VmType` you do not want to define a new type. In this case you can use the `vm_type` attribute
+to point to another, compatible type. See the marshalling example for the complete source for the examples below.
