Expand description

Interface for outputting user-facing “type-system entities” (paths, types, lifetimes, constants, etc.) as a side-effect (e.g. formatting, like PrettyPrinter implementors do) or by constructing some alternative representation (e.g. an AST), which the associated types allow passing through the methods.

For pretty-printing/formatting in particular, see PrettyPrinter.
