//!
//! This crate provides the [`quote!`] macro for turning Rust syntax tree data
//! structures into tokens of source code.
//!
//! Procedural macros in Rust receive a stream of tokens as input, execute
//! arbitrary Rust code to determine how to manipulate those tokens, and produce
//! a stream of tokens to hand back to the compiler to compile into the caller's
//! crate. Quasi-quoting is a solution to one piece of that &mdash; producing
//! tokens to return to the compiler.
//!
//! The idea of quasi-quoting is that we write *code* that we treat as *data*.
//! Within the `quote!` macro, we can write what looks like code to our text
//! editor or IDE. We get all the benefits of the editor's brace matching,
//! syntax highlighting, indentation, and maybe autocompletion. But rather than
//! compiling that as code into the current crate, we can treat it as data, pass
//! it around, mutate it, and eventually hand it back to the compiler as tokens
//! to compile into the macro caller's crate.
//!
//! This crate is motivated by the procedural macro use case, but is a
//! general-purpose Rust quasi-quoting library and is not specific to procedural
//! macros.
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! quote = "1.0"
//! ```
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! The following quasi-quoted block of code is something you might find in [a]
//! procedural macro having to do with data structure serialization. The `#var`
//! syntax performs interpolation of runtime variables into the quoted tokens.
//! Check out the documentation of the [`quote!`] macro for more detail about
//! the syntax. See also the [`quote_spanned!`] macro which is important for
//! implementing hygienic procedural macros.
//!
//! [a]: https://serde.rs/
//!
//! ```
//! # use quote::quote;
//! #
//! # let generics = "";
//! # let where_clause = "";
//! # let field_ty = "";
//! # let item_ty = "";
//! # let path = "";
//! # let value = "";
//! #
//! let tokens = quote! {
//!     struct SerializeWith #generics #where_clause {
//!         value: &'a #field_ty,
//!         phantom: core::marker::PhantomData<#item_ty>,
//!     }
//!
//!     impl #generics serde::Serialize for SerializeWith #generics #where_clause {
//!         fn serialize<S>(&self, serializer: S) -> Result<S::Ok, S::Error>
//!         where
//!             S: serde::Serializer,
//!         {
//!             #path(self.value, serializer)
//!         }
//!     }
//!
//!     SerializeWith {
//!         value: #value,
//!         phantom: core::marker::PhantomData::<#item_ty>,
//!     }
//! };
//! ```
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # Non-macro code generators
//!
//! When using `quote` in a build.rs or main.rs and writing the output out to a
//! file, consider having the code generator pass the tokens through
//! [prettyplease] before writing. This way if an error occurs in the generated
//! code it is convenient for a human to read and debug.
