+//! This module contains the xpcom interfaces exposed to rust code.
+//!
+//! The items in this module come in a few flavours:
+//!
+//! 1. `nsI*`: These are the types for XPCOM interfaces. They should always be
+//! passed behind a reference, pointer, or `RefPtr`. They may be coerced to
+//! their base interfaces using the `coerce` method.
+//!
+//! 2. `nsI*Coerce`: These traits provide the implementation mechanics for the
+//! `coerce` method, and can usually be ignored. *These traits are hidden in
+//! rustdoc*
+//!
+//! 3. `nsI*VTable`: These structs are the vtable definitions for each type.
+//! They contain the base interface's vtable, followed by pointers for each
+//! of the vtable's methods. If direct access is needed, a `*const nsI*` can
+//! be safely transmuted to a `*const nsI*VTable`. *These structs are hidden
+//! in rustdoc*
+//!
+//! 4. Typedefs used in idl file definitions.
+
+// Interfaces defined in .idl files
+mod idl;
+pub use self::idl::*;
+
+// Other interfaces which are needed to compile
+mod nonidl;
+pub use self::nonidl::*;
