+//! This module handles checking if the span given is from a proc-macro or not.
+//!
+//! Proc-macros are capable of setting the span of every token they output to a few possible spans.
+//! This includes spans we can detect easily as coming from a proc-macro (e.g. the call site
+//! or the def site), and spans we can't easily detect as such (e.g. the span of any token
+//! passed into the proc macro). This capability means proc-macros are capable of generating code
+//! with a span that looks like it was written by the user, but which should not be linted by clippy
+//! as it was generated by an external macro.
+//!
+//! That brings us to this module. The current approach is to determine a small bit of text which
+//! must exist at both the start and the end of an item (e.g. an expression or a path) assuming the
+//! code was written, and check if the span contains that text. Note this will only work correctly
+//! if the span is not from a `macro_rules` based macro.
