This file contains ambiguous Unicode characters

This file contains Unicode characters that might be confused with other characters. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

The `rustc_ast` crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the
rustc dev guide:
- [Parsing](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/the-parser.html)
- [Macro Expansion](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/macro-expansion.html)
