+//! This module provides a way to construct a `File`.
+//! It is intended to be completely decoupled from the
+//! parser, so as to allow to evolve the tree representation
+//! and the parser algorithm independently.
+//!
+//! The `TreeSink` trait is the bridge between the parser and the
+//! tree builder: the parser produces a stream of events like
+//! `start node`, `finish node`, and `FileBuilder` converts
+//! this stream to a real tree.
