Rust Reference still talks about #[deriving(...)], instead of #[derive(...)] #20984

Description

It seems that #[deriving(Show)] has stopped defining the Show trait for structs.

In the code below, if I remove the #[cfg(skip)] before the explicit Show derivation, the program runs correctly.

$ cat src/main.rs
use std::fmt::{Error, Formatter, Show};

#[deriving(Show)]
struct Stuff;

#[cfg(skip)]
impl Show for Stuff {
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error> {
        f.write_str("Stuff()")
    }
}

fn main() {
    let x = Stuff;
    assert_eq!(format!("{:?}", x), "Stuff()");
}
