+//! ### `#[asn1(tag_mode = "...")]` attribute: `EXPLICIT` vs `IMPLICIT`
+//!
+//! This attribute can be used to declare the tagging mode used for a field of a `struct`
+//! which derives [`Sequence`] or for a variant of an `enum` which derives [`Choice`].
+//! It allows to override the toplevel `tag_mode` attribute, for the fields and variants that
+//! specify it.

 //! [`Sequence`]: derive@Sequence
