     Obviously, if Argument Clinic didn't produce any output, it's because
     it found an error in your input.  Keep fixing your errors and retrying
     until Argument Clinic processes your file without complaint.
 
+    For readability, most of the glue code has been generated to a ``.c.h``
+    file.  You'll need to include that in your original ``.c`` file,
+    typically right after the clinic module block:
+
+     .. code-block:: c
+
+       #include "clinic/_pickle.c.h"
+
 13. Double-check that the argument-parsing code Argument Clinic generated
     looks basically the same as the existing code.
