+NB: This crate is part of the Rust compiler. For an overview of the
+compiler as a whole, see
+[the README.md file found in `librustc`](../librustc/README.md).
+
+The `syntax` crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
+– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer,
+lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.
