Description
- Converting between IDs (HirIds, DefIds, LocalDefIds)
- Accessing the AST/HIR/MIR of a program
It turns out we have some examples already in https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/blob/master/examples/, we should expand those and make them more prominent.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing examples in the rustc-dev-guide examples/ directory. Identify how the current material covers converting HirIds, DefIds, and LocalDefIds and accessing AST, HIR, and MIR, then expand the examples and make them more prominent in the guide. Done means these common rustc tasks have clear, discoverable examples.
