-//! Here we build the "reduced graph": the graph of the module tree without
-//! any imports resolved.
+//! Items from the fragment are placed into modules,
+//! unexpanded macros in the fragment are visited and registered.
+//! Imports are also considered items and placed into modules here, but not resolved yet.

+//! "Late resolution" is the pass that resolves most of names in a crate beside imports and macros.
+//! It runs when the crate is fully expanded and its module structure is fully built.
+//! So it just walks through the crate and resolves all the expressions, types, etc.
+//!
+//! If you wonder why there's no `early.rs`, that's because it's split into three files -
+//! `build_reduced_graph.rs`, `macros.rs` and `resolve_imports.rs`.

+//! Paths in macros, imports, expressions, types, patterns are resolved here.
+//! Label names are resolved here as well.

+//! Type-relative name resolution (methods, fields, associated items) happens in `librustc_typeck`.
