//! The nightly-only [`concat_idents!`] macro in the Rust standard library is
//! notoriously underpowered in that its concatenated identifiers can only refer to
//! existing items, they can never be used to define something new.
//!
//! [`concat_idents!`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.concat_idents.html
//!
//! This crate provides a flexible way to paste together identifiers in a macro,
//! including using pasted identifiers to define new items.
//!
//! This approach works with any stable or nightly Rust compiler 1.30+.
//!
//! # Pasting identifiers
//!
//! There are two entry points, `paste::expr!` for macros in expression position and
//! `paste::item!` for macros in item position.
//!
//! Within either one, identifiers inside `[<`...`>]` are pasted together to form a
//! single identifier.
//!
//! ```rust
//! extern crate paste;
//!
//! // Macro in item position: at module scope or inside of an impl block.
//! paste::item! {
//! // Defines a const called `QRST`.
//! const [<Q R S T>]: &str = "success!";
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//! // Macro in expression position: inside a function body.
//! assert_eq!(
//! paste::expr! { [<Q R S T>].len() },
//! 8,
//! );
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! # More elaborate examples
//!
//! This program demonstrates how you may want to bundle a paste invocation inside
//! of a more convenient user-facing macro of your own. Here the `routes!(A, B)`
//! macro expands to a vector containing `ROUTE_A` and `ROUTE_B`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! extern crate paste;
//!
//! const ROUTE_A: &str = "/a";
//! const ROUTE_B: &str = "/b";
//!
//! macro_rules! routes {
//! ($($route:ident),*) => {{
//! paste::expr! {
//! vec![$( [<ROUTE_ $route>] ),*]
//! }
//! }}
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let routes = routes!(A, B);
//! assert_eq!(routes, vec!["/a", "/b"]);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The next example shows a macro that generates accessor methods for some struct
//! fields.
//!
//! ```rust
//! extern crate paste;
//!
//! macro_rules! make_a_struct_and_getters {
//! ($name:ident { $($field:ident),* }) => {
//! // Define a struct. This expands to:
//! //
//! // pub struct S {
//! // a: String,
//! // b: String,
//! // c: String,
//! // }
//! pub struct $name {
//! $(
//! $field: String,
//! )*
//! }
//!
//! // Build an impl block with getters. This expands to:
//! //
//! // impl S {
//! // pub fn get_a(&self) -> &str { &self.a }
//! // pub fn get_b(&self) -> &str { &self.b }
//! // pub fn get_c(&self) -> &str { &self.c }
//! // }
//! paste::item! {
//! impl $name {
//! $(
//! pub fn [<get_ $field>](&self) -> &str {
//! &self.$field
//! }
//! )*
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! }
//!
//! make_a_struct_and_getters!(S { a, b, c });
//!
//! fn call_some_getters(s: &S) -> bool {
//! s.get_a() == s.get_b() && s.get_c().is_empty()
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
