+//! A trait that can provide the `Span` of the complete contents of a syntax
+//! tree node.
+//!
+//! *This module is available only if Syn is built with both the `"parsing"` and
+//! `"printing"` features.*
+//!
+//! <br>
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! Suppose in a procedural macro we have a [`Type`] that we want to assert
+//! implements the [`Sync`] trait. Maybe this is the type of one of the fields
+//! of a struct for which we are deriving a trait implementation, and we need to
+//! be able to pass a reference to one of those fields across threads.
+//!
+//! [`Type`]: crate::Type
+//! [`Sync`]: std::marker::Sync
+//!
+//! If the field type does *not* implement `Sync` as required, we want the
+//! compiler to report an error pointing out exactly which type it was.
+//!
+//! The following macro code takes a variable `ty` of type `Type` and produces a
+//! static assertion that `Sync` is implemented for that type.
+//!
+//! ```
+//! # extern crate proc_macro;
+//! #
+//! use proc_macro::TokenStream;
+//! use proc_macro2::Span;
+//! use quote::quote_spanned;
+//! use syn::Type;
+//! use syn::spanned::Spanned;
+//!
+//! # const IGNORE_TOKENS: &str = stringify! {
+//! #[proc_macro_derive(MyMacro)]
+//! # };
+//! pub fn my_macro(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
+//! # let ty = get_a_type();
+//! /* ... */
+//!
+//! let assert_sync = quote_spanned! {ty.span()=>
+//! struct _AssertSync where #ty: Sync;
+//! };
+//!
+//! /* ... */
+//! # input
+//! }
+//! #
+//! # fn get_a_type() -> Type {
+//! # unimplemented!()
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! By inserting this `assert_sync` fragment into the output code generated by
+//! our macro, the user's code will fail to compile if `ty` does not implement
+//! `Sync`. The errors they would see look like the following.
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! error[E0277]: the trait bound `*const i32: std::marker::Sync` is not satisfied
+//! --> src/main.rs:10:21
+//! |
+//! 10 | bad_field: *const i32,
+//! | ^^^^^^^^^^ `*const i32` cannot be shared between threads safely
+//! ```
+//!
+//! In this technique, using the `Type`'s span for the error message makes the
+//! error appear in the correct place underlining the right type.
+//!
+//! <br>
+//!
+//! # Limitations
+//!
+//! The underlying [`proc_macro::Span::join`] method is nightly-only. When
+//! called from within a procedural macro in a nightly compiler, `Spanned` will
+//! use `join` to produce the intended span. When not using a nightly compiler,
+//! only the span of the *first token* of the syntax tree node is returned.
+//!
+//! In the common case of wanting to use the joined span as the span of a
+//! `syn::Error`, consider instead using [`syn::Error::new_spanned`] which is
+//! able to span the error correctly under the complete syntax tree node without
+//! needing the unstable `join`.
+//!
+//! [`syn::Error::new_spanned`]: crate::Error::new_spanned
