Write briefly about syntax extension in the syntax section
The currently existing syntax extension facilities don't really merit their own section.

## Syntax extensions
|
||||
|
||||
There are plans to support user-defined syntax (macros) in Rust. This
|
||||
currently only exists in very limited form.
|
||||
|
||||
The compiler defines a few built-in syntax extensions. The most useful
|
||||
one is `#fmt`, a printf-style text formatting macro that is expanded
|
||||
at compile time.
|
||||
|
||||
std::io::writeln(#fmt("%s is %d", "the answer", 42));
|
||||
|
||||
`#fmt` supports most of the directives that [printf][pf] supports, but
|
||||
will give you a compile-time error when the types of the directives
|
||||
don't match the types of the arguments.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
All syntax extensions look like `#word`. Another built-in one is
|
||||
`#env`, which will look up its argument as an environment variable at
|
||||
compile-time.
|
||||
|
||||
std::io::writeln(#env("PATH"));
