//! # Proc_Macro
//!
//! A library for procedural macro writers.
//!
//! ## Usage
//! This crate provides the `quote!` macro for syntax creation.
//!
//! The `quote!` macro uses the crate `syntax`, so users must declare `extern crate syntax;`
//! at the crate root. This is a temporary solution until we have better hygiene.
//!
//! ## Quasiquotation
//!
//! The quasiquoter creates output that, when run, constructs the tokenstream specified as
//! input. For example, `quote!(5 + 5)` will produce a program, that, when run, will
//! construct the TokenStream `5 | + | 5`.
//!
//! ### Unquoting
//!
//! Unquoting is done with `$`, and works by taking the single next ident as the unquoted term.
//! To quote `$` itself, use `$$`.
//!
//! A simple example is:
//!
//!```
//!fn double(tmp: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
//!    quote!($tmp * 2)
//!}
//!```
//!
//! ### Large example: Scheme's `cond`
//!
//! Below is an example implementation of Scheme's `cond`.
//!
//! ```
//! fn cond(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
//!     let mut conds = Vec::new();
//!     let mut input = input.trees().peekable();
//!     while let Some(tree) = input.next() {
//!         let mut cond = match tree {
//!             TokenTree::Delimited(_, ref delimited) => delimited.stream(),
//!             _ => panic!("Invalid input"),
//!         };
//!         let mut trees = cond.trees();
//!         let test = trees.next();
//!         let rhs = trees.collect::<TokenStream>();
//!         if rhs.is_empty() {
//!             panic!("Invalid macro usage in cond: {}", cond);
//!         }
//!         let is_else = match test {
//!             Some(TokenTree::Token(_, Token::Ident(ident))) if ident.name == "else" => true,
//!             _ => false,
//!         };
//!         conds.push(if is_else || input.peek().is_none() {
//!             quote!({ $rhs })
//!         } else {
//!             let test = test.unwrap();
//!             quote!(if $test { $rhs } else)
//!         });
//!     }
//!
//!     conds.into_iter().collect()
//! }
//! ```
