// The format_args!() macro is expanded in three steps:
//  1. First, `parse_args` will parse the `(literal, arg, arg, name=arg, name=arg)` syntax,
//     but doesn't parse the template (the literal) itself.
//  2. Second, `make_format_args` will parse the template, the format options, resolve argument references,
//     produce diagnostics, and turn the whole thing into a `FormatArgs` structure.
//  3. Finally, `expand_parsed_format_args` will turn that `FormatArgs` structure
//     into the expression that the macro expands to.

// See format/ast.rs for the FormatArgs structure and glossary.

// Only used in parse_args and report_invalid_references,
// to indicate how a referred argument was used.
