+/// hir makes a heavy use of ids: integer (u32) handlers to various things. You
+/// can think of id as a pointer (but without a lifetime) or a file descriptor
+/// (but for hir objects).
+///
+/// This module defines a bunch of ids we are using. The most important ones are
+/// probably `HirFileId` and `DefId`.
+
+/// Input to the analyzer is a set of file, where each file is indetified by
+/// `FileId` and contains source code. However, another source of source code in
+/// Rust are macros: each macro can be thought of as producing a "temporary
+/// file". To assign id to such file, we use the id of a macro call that
+/// produced the file. So, a `HirFileId` is either a `FileId` (source code
+/// written by user), or a `MacroCallId` (source code produced by macro).
+///
+/// What is a `MacroCallId`? Simplifying, it's a `HirFileId` of a file containin
+/// the call plus the offset of the macro call in the file. Note that this is a
+/// recursive definition! Nethetheless, size_of of `HirFileId` is finite
+/// (because everything bottoms out at the real `FileId`) and small
+/// (`MacroCallId` uses location interner).
