Nicholas Nethercote 82a609f9a6 Shrink the comment on TokenTree.
It uses very old language that is more confusing today than helpful,
including references to `SubstNt` that no longer exists. The comment
above `TokenStream` is better, and suffices for a basic understanding of
these types.

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:
