Description
Right now the literal tokens chapter describes the behavior of literal expressions and not just the tokens. The behavior of matching the token to a specific primitive value should be described in the literal expressions chapter while the token literals chapter just describes the tokens.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by comparing the literal tokens and literal expressions chapters in the Rust Reference, then identify which passages describe token-to-primitive-value behavior. Done means token syntax is documented in the literal tokens chapter and matching behavior is described in the literal expressions chapter.
