It bugs me when variables of type `Ident` are called `name`. It leads to silly things like `name.name`. `Ident` variables should be called `ident`, and `name` should be used for variables of type `Symbol`. This commit improves things by by doing `s/name/ident/` on a bunch of `Ident` variables. Not all of them, but a decent chunk.
The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
