+//! The Rust abstract syntax tree module.
+//!
+//! This module contains common structures forming the language AST.
+//! Two main entities in the module are [`Item`] (which represents an AST element with
+//! additional metadata), and [`ItemKind`] (which represents a concrete type and contains
+//! information specific to the type of the item).
+//!
+//! Other module items that worth mentioning:
+//! - [`Ty`] and [`TyKind`]: A parsed Rust type.
+//! - [`Expr`] and [`ExprKind`]: A parsed Rust expression.
+//! - [`Pat`] and [`PatKind`]: A parsed Rust pattern. Patterns are often dual to expressions.
+//! - [`Stmt`] and [`StmtKind`]: An executable action that does not return a value.
+//! - [`FnDecl`], [`FnHeader`] and [`Param`]: Metadata associated with a function declaration.
+//! - [`Generics`], [`GenericParam`], [`WhereClause`]: Metadata associated with generic parameters.
+//! - [`EnumDef`] and [`Variant`]: Enum declaration.
+//! - [`Lit`] and [`LitKind`]: Literal expressions.
+//! - [`MacroDef`], [`MacStmtStyle`], [`MacCall`], [`MacDelimiter`]: Macro definition and invocation.
+//! - [`Attribute`]: Metadata associated with item.
+//! - [`UnOp`], [`BinOp`], and [`BinOpKind`]: Unary and binary operators.
