#![crate_name = "ident_util"]

/// Takes a binding, type, const, or function as an argument and returns its
/// unqualified string representation. If the identifier does not exist
/// in the current context, the macro will cause a compilation error.
/// This macro is mainly intended for debugging purposes and to improve
/// the refactoring experience compared to plain `stringify!()`.
///
/// The syntax depends on the type of the identifier:
///
/// 1. Bindings to variables and functions require no annotation,
///    e.g. `name_of!(some_binding)`.
///
/// 2. Types and structs require the keyword `type`, e.g. `name_of!(type SomeType)`.
///    Alternatively, the macro `name_of_type!(SomeType)` may be used.
///
/// 3. Fields within structs are referred to with the `in` keyword,
///    e.g. `name_of!(some_field in SomeType)`.
///
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// # #[macro_use] extern crate ident_util;
/// # fn main() {
/// struct TestStruct {
///     test_field: i32,
/// }
///
/// impl TestStruct {
///     const TEST_CONST: i32 = 1;
/// }
///
/// struct GenericStruct<T> {
///     test_field_t: T,
/// }
///
/// fn greet() -> &'static str {
///     "Hi, World"
/// }
///
/// let text = "Hello, World!";
///
/// println!("Binding `{}` holds `{}`.", name_of!(text), text);
///
/// println!("Function `{}` says `{}`.", name_of!(greet), greet());
///
/// println!(
///     "Struct `{}` has a field `{}`.",
///     name_of!(type TestStruct),
///     name_of!(test_field in TestStruct)
/// );
///
/// println!(
///     "Generic Struct `{}` has a field `{}`.",
///     name_of!(type GenericStruct<String>),
///     name_of!(test_field_t in GenericStruct<String>)
/// );
///
/// println!(
///     "Struct `{}` has an associated constant `{}`.",
///     name_of!(type TestStruct),
///     name_of!(const TEST_CONST in TestStruct)
/// );
///
/// println!(
///     "Standard types such as `{}` and `{}` also work.",
