+/// The `crate` keyword.
+///
+/// The primary use of the `crate` keyword is as a part of `extern crate` declarations, which are
+/// used to specify a dependency on a crate external to the one it's declared in. Crates are the
+/// fundamental compilation unit of Rust code, and can be seen as libraries or projects. More can
+/// be read about crates in the [Reference].
+///
+/// ```rust ignore
+/// extern crate rand;
+/// extern crate my_crate as thing;
+/// extern crate std; // implicitly added to the root of every Rust project
+/// ```
+///
+/// The `as` keyword can be used to change what the crate is referred to as in your project. If a
+/// crate name includes a dash, it is implicitly imported with the dashes replaced by underscores.
+///
+/// `crate` is also used as in conjunction with [`pub`] to signify that the item it's attached to
+/// is public only to other members of the same crate it's in.
+///
+/// ```rust
+/// # #[allow(unused_imports)]
+/// pub(crate) use std::io::Error as IoError;
+/// pub(crate) enum CoolMarkerType { }
+/// pub struct PublicThing {
+///     pub(crate) semi_secret_thing: bool,
+/// }
+/// ```
