Research direction

The issue identifies editions, spans, macros, and crates using different editions, but it names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the Reference sections covering these concepts and determining their relationship. Done means the edition-related behavior and any interaction with spans or macros are clearly documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

A-editions

I believe there is some relationship between editions and spans, or at least with macros, dealing with crates of different editions. This should be documented. I'm not sure where to start here.
