//! Parse a Rust source file into a `syn::File` and print out a debug
//! representation of the syntax tree.
//!
//! Use the following command from this directory to test this program by
//! running it on its own source code:
//!
//!     cargo run -- main.rs
//!
//! The output will begin with:
//!
//!     File {
//!         shebang: None,
//!         attrs: [
//!             Attribute {
//!                 pound_token: Pound,
//!                 style: Inner(
//!         ...
//!     }
