-- The compile process begins when a user writes a Rust source program in text and invokes the `rustc` compiler on it. The work that the compiler needs to perform is defined with command line options. For example, it is possible to optionally enable nightly features, perform `check`-only builds, or emit LLVM-IR rather than complete the entire compile process defined here. The `rustc` executable call may be indirect through the use of `cargo`.
+- The compile process begins when a user writes a Rust source program in text and invokes the `rustc` compiler on it. The work that the compiler needs to perform is defined by command-line options. For example, it is possible to enable nightly features (`-Z` flags), perform `check`-only builds, or emit LLVM-IR rather than executable machine code. The `rustc` executable call may be indirect through the use of `cargo`.
 - Command line argument parsing occurs in the [`librustc_driver`]. This crate defines the compile configuration that is requested by the user.
 - The raw Rust source text is analyzed by a low-level lexer located in [`librustc_lexer`]. At this stage, the source text is turned into a stream of atomic source code units known as _tokens_. (**TODO**: chrissimpkins - Maybe discuss Unicode handling during this stage?)
 - The token stream passes through a higher-level lexer located in [`librustc_parse`] to prepare for the next stage of the compile process. The [`StringReader`] struct is used at this stage to perform a set of validations and turn strings into interned symbols.
