+// A signature is a string representation of an item's type signature, excluding
+// any body. It also includes ids for any defs or refs in the signature. For
+// example:
+//
+// ```
+// fn foo(x: String) {
+//     println!("{}", x);   
+// }
+// ```
+// The signature string is something like "fn foo(x: String) {}" and the signature
+// will have defs for `foo` and `x` and a ref for `String`.
+//
+// All signature text should parse in the correct context (i.e., in a module or
+// impl, etc.). Clients may want to trim trailing `{}` or `;`. The text of a
+// signature is not guaranteed to be stable (it may improve or change as the
+// syntax changes, or whitespace or punctuation may change). It is also likely
+// not to be pretty - no attempt is made to prettify the text. It is recommended
+// that clients run the text through Rustfmt.
+//
+// This module generates Signatures for items by walking the AST and looking up
+// references.
+//
+// Signatures do not include visibility info. I'm not sure if this is a feature
+// or an ommission (FIXME).
+//
