1// Per-language metric and AST modules deliberately consume the macro-
2// generated tree-sitter token enums via `use crate::*` and `use Foo::*`
3// inside match expressions — explicit imports would list dozens of
4// variants per arm and obscure the per-language token sets that are the
5// point of these files. Allowed at the module level rather than per
6// function so the per-language impl blocks stay readable.
