the token stream, and then execute the parser to get a `Crate` (the root AST
node).
To minimise the amount of copying that is done, both the `StringReader` and
`Parser` have lifetimes which bind them to the parent `ParseSess`. This contains
all the information needed while parsing, as well as the `SourceMap` itself.

Note that while parsing, we may encounter macro definitions or invocations. We
set these aside to be expanded (see [this chapter](./macro-expansion.md)).

finite state machines, the lexer in `rustc_lexer` is hand-written.
- [`StringReader`] from [`rustc_ast`][rustc_ast] integrates `rustc_lexer` with `rustc`
specific data structures. Specifically, it adds `Span` information to tokens
returned by `rustc_lexer` and interns identifiers.
