Because it's an extra type layer that doesn't really help; in a couple
of places it actively gets in the way, and overall removing it makes the
code nicer. It does, however, move `tokenstream::TokenTree` further away
from the `TokenTree` in `quote.rs`.
More importantly, this change reduces the size of `TokenStream` from 48
bytes to 40 bytes on x86-64, which is enough to slightly reduce
instruction counts on numerous benchmarks, the best by 1.5%.
Note that `open_tt` and `close_tt` have gone from being methods on
`Delimited` to associated methods of `TokenTree`.
proc_macro::Group::span_open and span_close
Before this addition, every delimited group like `(`...`)` `[`...`]` `{`...`}` has only a single Span that covers the full source location from opening delimiter to closing delimiter. This makes it impossible for a procedural macro to trigger an error pointing to just the opening or closing delimiter. The Rust compiler does not seem to have the same limitation:
```rust
mod m {
type T =
}
```
```console
error: expected type, found `}`
--> src/main.rs:3:1
|
3 | }
| ^
```
On that same input, a procedural macro would be forced to trigger the error on the last token inside the block, on the entire block, or on the next token after the block, none of which is really what you want for an error like above.
This commit adds `group.span_open()` and `group.span_close()` which access the Span associated with just the opening delimiter and just the closing delimiter of the group. Relevant to Syn as we implement real error messages for when parsing fails in a procedural macro: https://github.com/dtolnay/syn/issues/476.
```diff
impl Group {
fn span(&self) -> Span;
+ fn span_open(&self) -> Span;
+ fn span_close(&self) -> Span;
}
```

resolve: Implement prelude search for macro paths, implement tool attributes
When identifier is macro path is resolved in scopes (i.e. the first path segment - `foo` in `foo::mac!()` or `foo!()`), scopes are searched in the same order as for non-macro paths - items in modules, extern prelude, tool prelude (see later), standard library prelude, language prelude, but with some extra shadowing restrictions (names from globs and macro expansions cannot shadow names from outer scopes). See the comment in `fn resolve_lexical_macro_path_segment` for more details.
"Tool prelude" currently contains two "tool modules" `rustfmt` and `clippy`, and is searched immediately after extern prelude.
This makes the [possible long-term solution](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2103-tool-attributes.md#long-term-solution) for tool attributes exactly equivalent to the existing extern prelude scheme, except that `--extern=my_crate` making crate names available in scope is replaced with something like `--tool=my_tool` making tool names available in scope.
The `tool_attributes` feature is still unstable and `#![feature(tool_attributes)]` now implicitly enables `#![feature(use_extern_macros)]`. `use_extern_macros` is a prerequisite for `tool_attributes`, so their stabilization will happen in the same order.
If `use_extern_macros` is not enabled, then tool attributes are treated as custom attributes (this is temporary, anyway).
