+# Ripper is a Ruby script parser.
+#
+# You can get information from the parser with event-based style.
+# Information such as abstract syntax trees or simple lexical analysis of the
+# Ruby program.
+#
+# == Usage
+#
+# Ripper provides an easy interface for parsing your program into a symbolic
+# expression tree (or S-expression).
+#
+# Understanding the output of the parser may come as a challenge, it's
+# recommended you use PP to format the output for legibility.
+#
+#   require 'ripper'
+#   require 'pp'
+#
+#   pp Ripper.sexp('def hello(world); "Hello, #{world}!"; end')
+#     #=> [:program,
+#          [[:def,
+#            [:@ident, "hello", [1, 4]],
+#            [:paren,
+#             [:params, [[:@ident, "world", [1, 10]]], nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil]],
+#            [:bodystmt,
+#             [[:void_stmt],
+#              [:string_literal,
+#               [:string_content,
+#                [:@tstring_content, "Hello, ", [1, 19]],
+#                [:string_embexpr, [[:var_ref, [:@ident, "world", [1, 28]]]]],
+#                [:@tstring_content, "!", [1, 34]]]]],
+#             nil,
+#             nil,
+#             nil]]]]
+#
+# You can see in the example above, the expression starts with +:program+.
+#
+# From here, a method definition at +:def+, followed by the method's identifier
+# <code>:@ident</code>. After the method's identifier comes the parentheses
+# +:paren+ and the method parameters under +:params+.
+#
+# Next is the method body, starting at +:bodystmt+ (+stmt+ meaning statement),
+# which contains the full definition of the method.
+#
+# In our case, we're simply returning a String, so next we have the
+# +:void_stmt+ followed by a +:string_literal+.
+#
+# Within our +:string_literal+ you'll notice two <code>@tstring_content</code>,
+# this is the literal part for <code>Hello, </code> and <code>!</code>. Between
+# the two <code>@tstring_content</code> statements is a +:string_embexpr+,
+# where _embexpr_ is an embedded expression. Our expression consists of a local
+# variable, or +var_ref+, with the identifier (<code>@ident</code>) of +world+.
