//! **This library is an attempt at seeding an ecosystem of high-quality modular
//! interoperable tt-muncher building blocks.**
//!
//! Tt-munching is a powerful technique for parsing macro\_rules input grammars
//! of significant complexity. In building more and more sophisticated
//! tt-muncher macros it becomes valuable to share code for dealing with certain
//! common input patterns, rather than reimplementing support for those patterns
//! in a low quality and poorly tested way each time.
//!
//! The core macros provided by this library are **[`tt_call!`]** and
//! **[`tt_return!`]**. Together these provide a flexible way to propagate input
//! and output tokens along a recursive descent call hierarchy. One may also
//! view them as a flexible library-only stable implementation of eager
//! expansion for macro\_rules.
//!
//! [`tt_call!`]: macro.tt_call.html
//! [`tt_return!`]: macro.tt_return.html
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! tt-call = "1.0"
//! ```
//!
//! *Version requirement: tt-call requires a Rust compiler version 1.28 or
//! newer.*
//!
//!
//! ## Calling convention rules
//!
//! - **Macros that conform to tt-call must be invoked with curly braces.**
//!
//!     ```rust
//!     # macro_rules! some_macro {
//!     #     () => {};
//!     # }
//!     #
//!     some_macro! {
//!         /* ... */
//!     }
//!     ```
//!
//!     The Rust grammar is very particular about punctuation after
//!     parenthesized and square bracketed macro invocations. In expression or
//!     type position they must not be followed by a semicolon. In item or
//!     statement position they are required to be followed by a semicolon. The
//!     inconsistency is applied transitively to any helper macros they forward
//!     to, and means that parenthesized and square bracketed macro invocations
//!     must decide whether to support expression and type position only or item
//!     and statement position only. They cannot support both, which is a
//!     problem for broadly applicable macro building blocks.
//!
//!     There is no such punctuation requirement after curly brace invocations.
//!     Consistently using curly braces makes the same macro building blocks
//!     usable in any syntactic position.
//!
//! - **Input and output values must be passed in the following key-value
//!   form.**
//!
//!     ```rust
//!     # macro_rules! some_macro {
//!     #     {
//!     $key:ident = [{ $($value:tt)* }]
//!     #     } => {};
//!     # }
//!     ```
//!
//!     This is enforced by the `tt_call!` and `tt_return!` macros. The
//!     consistency is important for composability and makes it possible to
//!     write higher-order macros that operate on the input or output of an
//!     arbitrary tt-call macro.
//!
//!     Except in libraries intended specifically as tt-call building blocks,
//!     generally tt-call macros will be private `#[doc(hidden)]` helpers with a
//!     user-facing non-tt-call entry point. Thus the rigid key-value syntax
//!     need not be exposed to users of the public macro.
//!
//! - **Before its key-value inputs, every rule must accept a `$caller:tt`.**
//!
//!     This is an opaque tt bundle used by `tt_call!` and `tt_return!` to
//!     record the call hierarchy. A `tt_return!` accepts a `$caller` to return
//!     back to.
//!
//! - **Every rule must expand to exactly one macro invocation and nothing
//!   else.**
//!
//!     Output tokens are expected to be returned through `tt_return!`.
//!     Expanding to nothing, expanding to more than one macro invocation, or
//!     expanding to anything other than a macro invocation are not permitted.
//!
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! Just as a flavor of the syntax, one of the rules from the implementation of
//! the built-in [`tt_replace!`] macro is written as follows. The macro takes in
//! a token stream and for each token that matches a given predicate it replaces
//! that token with a given replacement sequence of tokens. For example the
//! caller may want to replace the token `self` with the single token `__value`.
//!
//! The rule shown here is responsible for performing one step of the
//! replacement. It matches one token of input in `$first:tt`, uses [`tt_if!`]
//! to invoke the predicate with `$first` as input, recurses with an accumulated
//! copy of the replacement tokens if the predicate returns true, and recurses
//! on the remaining tokens with `$first` preserved unchanged if the predicate
//! returns false.
//!
//! [`tt_replace!`]: macro.tt_replace.html
//! [`tt_if!`]: macro.tt_if.html
//!
//! ```rust
//! # macro_rules! ignore {
//! {
//!     $caller:tt
//!     condition = [{ $condition:ident }]
//!     replace_with = [{ $($with:tt)* }]
//!     tokens = [{ $($tokens:tt)* }]
//!     rest = [{ $first:tt $($rest:tt)* }]
//! } => {
//!     tt_if! {
//!         condition = [{ $condition }]
//!         input = [{ $first }]
//!         true = [{
//!             private_replace! {
//!                 $caller
//!                 condition = [{ $condition }]
//!                 replace_with = [{ $($with)* }]
//!                 tokens = [{ $($tokens)* $($with)* }]
//!                 rest = [{ $($rest)* }]
//!             }
//!         }]
//!         false = [{
//!             private_replace! {
//!                 $caller
//!                 condition = [{ $condition }]
//!                 replace_with = [{ $($with)* }]
//!                 tokens = [{ $($tokens)* $first }]
//!                 rest = [{ $($rest)* }]
//!             }
//!         }]
//!     }
//! };
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Here is another macro rule selected from `tt_replace!`. This one matches if
//! the tt-muncher has reached the end of its input. It returns the finished
//! tokens back to the caller using `tt_return!`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # macro_rules! ignore {
//! {
//!     $caller:tt
//!     condition = [{ $condition:ident }]
//!     replace_with = [{ $($with:tt)* }]
//!     tokens = [{ $($tokens:tt)* }]
//!     rest = [{ }]
//! } => {
//!     tt_return! {
//!         $caller
//!         tokens = [{ $($tokens)* }]
//!     }
//! };
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! One example of a caller-provided predicate for `tt_replace!` could be
//! written as follows. This predicate determines whether the input token is
//! lowercase `self`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! macro_rules! is_lowercase_self {
//!     // Input token is `self`.
//!     {
//!         $caller:tt
//!         input = [{ self }]
//!     } => {
//!         tt_return! {
//!             $caller
//!             is = [{ true }]
//!         }
//!     };
//!
//!     // Input token is anything other than `self`.
//!     {
//!         $caller:tt
//!         input = [{ $other:tt }]
//!     } => {
//!         tt_return! {
//!             $caller
//!             is = [{ false }]
//!         }
//!     };
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! From here, calling `tt_replace!` with our `is_lowercase_self!` as the
//! condition predicate can be used to implement a fanciful syntax for unary
//! closures: `closure!(self + 1)` should expand to `|__value| __value + 1`.
//!
//! Notice that this user-facing `closure!` macro does not follow the tt-call
//! calling convention. Internally though it uses several tt-call helpers as
//! building blocks.
//!
//! ```rust
//! # macro_rules! tt_call {
//! #     ($($ignore:tt)*) => {
//! #         2
//! #     };
//! # }
//! #
//! macro_rules! closure {
//!     ($($expr:tt)+) => {
//!         |__value| tt_call! {
//!             macro = [{ tt_replace }]
//!             condition = [{ is_lowercase_self }]
//!             replace_with = [{ __value }]
//!             input = [{ $($expr)+ }]
//!         }
//!     };
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     let add_one = closure!(self + 1);
//!     println!("{}", add_one(1));
//! }
//! ```
//!
//!
//! ## Motivation
//!
//! This may seem like a lot of ceremony around what should be very simple macro
//! calls. After all, couldn't we write `is_lowercase_self` in a much more
//! straightforward way as follows?
//!
//! ```rust
//! macro_rules! is_lowercase_self {
//!     (self) => { true };
//!     ($other:tt) => { false };
//! }
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     println!("{}", is_lowercase_self!(self)); // true
//!     println!("{}", is_lowercase_self!(not_self)); // false
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Qualified yes. As written, the simpler `is_lowercase_self!` behaves as it
//! looks like it should.
//!
//! But suppose we want to build `tt_replace!` or similar macro that needs to
//! invoke `is_lowercase_self!` as a helper. There is no way to do it with this
//! simpler one. No matter what our macro does, there is no way for it to expand
//! `is_lowercase_self!` before expanding itself. If it expands itself first,
//! there is no way for it to use the expansion of `is_lowercase_self!` to
//! decide whether the current token is supposed to be replaced.
//!
//! The `tt_call!` and `tt_return!` abstraction along with `$caller:tt` tracking
//! of the call hierarchy are critical to building composable macros that freely
//! pass around arbitrary tokens and return in a way that can inform expansion
//! of their caller.
//!
//! A future eager expansion feature for declarative macros may render the
//! tt-call approach unnecessary. Eager expansion is listed as an unresolved
//! question in the [tracking issue for declarative macros 2.0][tracking] but is
//! believed to be quite a ways out, if it ever happens. And even then it is not
//! clear whether it is desirable to allow macros expanding to arbitrary tokens.
//! Today macros always expand to an expression, item, statement, type, or
//! pattern. Eager expansion does not automatically mean that the restriction
//! would be lifted to allow a macro that expands to arbitrary tokens such as `!
//! @ #`. The token tree calling convention provides working eager expansion
//! today with support for passing and returning arbitrary token streams.
//!
//! [tracking]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39412
//!
//! And function-like procedural macros once those are stable? It is going to
//! depend on your choice of syntax for the macro input whether a procedural
//! macro is a better choice, but note that they present their own DIY parsing
//! adventures and can be even nastier than tt-call once you get the hang of
//! both. In addition, procedural macros must be defined in a separate crate
//! from the rest of your library so they are not well suited for quick one-off
//! helper macros.
//!
//!
//! ## Design philosphy
//!
//! As may be no surprise by this point, the calling convention design
//! prioritizes scalability and composability over conciseness. A reader
//! familiar with the calling convention (maybe you, six months after writing
//! the macro) should be able to look at any individual tt-call rule by itself
//! and comfortably read off what it does top to bottom and identify its
//! purpose.
//!
//!

//!
//! - The code that implements `closure!(self + 1)`, all of which is shown
//!   above, can be found all together in [`examples/replace.rs`].
//!
//! - As a more elaborate example of a tt-call macro,
//!   [`examples/comma_separated.rs`] demonstrates a macro that does primitive
//!   name mangling of Rust types. It uses [`parse_type!`] which is a tt-call
//!   version of `$:ty`.

// In general it is not possible today in Rust to produce good error messages

//
//     https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44535

// Within this crate we prefer to produce errors with the right span, even if

/// Evaluate a tt-call macro and return its output to a given return
/// destination.
///
/// # Input
///
/// The input must start with an argument called `macro` which provides the name
/// of the macro for `tt_call!` to invoke.
///
///   - `macro = [{` name of macro to call `}]`
///
/// After that there may be any number of key-value pairs to be passed as
/// arguments to the macro being called.
///
///   - **`$(`**<br>
///     &emsp;&emsp;arbitrary key `= [{` arbitrary tokens `}]`<br>
///     **`)*`**
///
/// Finally a specification of the macro invocation to which this call should
/// return its output.
///
///   - `~~>` name of return destination macro `! {`<br>
///     &emsp;&emsp;arbitrary tokens<br>
///     `}`
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```rust
/// #[macro_use]
/// extern crate tt_call;
///
/// macro_rules! print_is_ident {
///     {
///         token = [{ $token:tt }]
///         is_ident = [{ true }]
///     } => {
///         println!("turns out `{}` is an ident", stringify!($token));
///     };
///
///     {
///         token = [{ $token:tt }]
///         is_ident = [{ false }]
///     } => {
///         println!("nope, `{}` is not an ident", stringify!($token));
///     };
/// }
///
/// fn main() {
///     tt_call! {
///         macro = [{ tt_is_ident }]

///             token = [{ foo }]
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If the invoked macro provides the entirety of the input to the return
/// destination macro, then the `!` and argument list may be omitted.
///
/// ```rust
/// #[macro_use]
/// extern crate tt_call;
///
/// macro_rules! print_is_ident {
///     {
///         is_ident = [{ true }]
///     } => {

///         input = [{ foo }]
///         ~~> print_is_ident
///     }

/// And if the invoked macro produces exactly one output value and we just want
/// to expand to that output value, the destination macro may be omitted
/// entirely.
///
