Description

The code in that crate is quite dated, and partially broken, some tests are commented out due to changes I did that didn't bode well with its macro handling.

I never really used that feature so I've also got no clue about it, nor do I have the capacity to care about it, so this crate would benefit from someone who is actually using the feature to maybe give it an overhaul.

Start by locating the ide-ssr crate and reviewing its commented-out tests and macro-handling changes. Determine which parts are broken and what an overhaul should cover; done is a maintained crate with working tests and a clear owner.
