 //! ## Ownership
 //!
 //! `TokenStream`s are persistent data structures constructed as ropes with reference
 //! counted-children. In general, this means that calling an operation on a `TokenStream`
 //! (such as `slice`) produces an entirely new `TokenStream` from the borrowed reference to
-//! the original. This essentially coerces `TokenStream`s into 'views' of their subparts,

 //! and a borrowed `TokenStream` is sufficient to build an owned `TokenStream` without taking
 //! ownership of the original.
