`To` is better than `Create` for indicating that this is a non-consuming conversion, rather than creating something out of nothing. And the addition of `Attr` is because the current names makes them sound like they relate to `TokenStream`, but really they relate to `AttrTokenStream`.
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:
