+/// Extensions to the `ParseStream` API to support speculative parsing.
+pub trait Speculative {
+ /// Advance this parse stream to the position of a forked parse stream.
+ ///
+ /// This is the opposite operation to [`ParseStream::fork`]. You can fork a
+ /// parse stream, perform some speculative parsing, then join the original
+ /// stream to the fork to "commit" the parsing from the fork to the main
+ /// stream.
+ ///
+ /// If you can avoid doing this, you should, as it limits the ability to
+ /// generate useful errors. That said, it is often the only way to parse
+ /// syntax of the form `A* B*` for arbitrary syntax `A` and `B`. The problem
+ /// is that when the fork fails to parse an `A`, it's impossible to tell
+ /// whether that was because of a syntax error and the user meant to provide
+ /// an `A`, or that the `A`s are finished and it's time to start parsing
+ /// `B`s. Use with care.
+ ///
+ /// Also note that if `A` is a subset of `B`, `A* B*` can be parsed by
+ /// parsing `B*` and removing the leading members of `A` from the
+ /// repetition, bypassing the need to involve the downsides associated with
+ /// speculative parsing.
+ ///
+ /// [`ParseStream::fork`]: ParseBuffer::fork
+ ///
+ /// # Example
+ ///
+ /// There has been chatter about the possibility of making the colons in the
+ /// turbofish syntax like `path::to::<T>` no longer required by accepting
+ /// `path::to<T>` in expression position. Specifically, according to [RFC
+ /// 2544], [`PathSegment`] parsing should always try to consume a following
+ /// `<` token as the start of generic arguments, and reset to the `<` if
+ /// that fails (e.g. the token is acting as a less-than operator).
+ ///
+ /// This is the exact kind of parsing behavior which requires the "fork,
+ /// try, commit" behavior that [`ParseStream::fork`] discourages. With
+ /// `advance_to`, we can avoid having to parse the speculatively parsed
+ /// content a second time.
+ ///
+ /// This change in behavior can be implemented in syn by replacing just the
+ /// `Parse` implementation for `PathSegment`:
+ ///
+ /// ```

+ /// }
+ /// }
+ ///
+ /// # syn::parse_str::<PathSegment>("a<b,c>").unwrap();
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// # Drawbacks
+ ///
+ /// The main drawback of this style of speculative parsing is in error
+ /// presentation. Even if the lookahead is the "correct" parse, the error
+ /// that is shown is that of the "fallback" parse. To use the same example
+ /// as the turbofish above, take the following unfinished "turbofish":
+ ///
+ /// ```text
+ /// let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// If this is parsed as generic arguments, we can provide the error message
+ ///
+ /// ```text
+ /// error: expected identifier
+ /// --> src.rs:L:C
+ /// |
+ /// L | let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
+ /// | ^
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// but if parsed using the above speculative parsing, it falls back to
+ /// assuming that the `<` is a less-than when it fails to parse the generic
+ /// arguments, and tries to interpret the `&'a` as the start of a labelled
+ /// loop, resulting in the much less helpful error
+ ///
+ /// ```text
+ /// error: expected `:`
+ /// --> src.rs:L:C
+ /// |
+ /// L | let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
+ /// | ^^
+ /// ```
+ ///
+ /// This can be mitigated with various heuristics (two examples: show both
+ /// forks' parse errors, or show the one that consumed more tokens), but
+ /// when you can control the grammar, sticking to something that can be
+ /// parsed LL(3) and without the LL(*) speculative parsing this makes
+ /// possible, displaying reasonable errors becomes much more simple.
+ ///
