    /// This is the opposite operation to [`ParseStream::fork`]. You can fork a
    /// parse stream, perform some speculative parsing, then join the original
    /// stream to the fork to "commit" the parsing from the fork to the main
    /// stream.
    ///
    /// If you can avoid doing this, you should, as it limits the ability to
    /// generate useful errors. That said, it is often the only way to parse
    /// syntax of the form `A* B*` for arbitrary syntax `A` and `B`. The problem
    /// is that when the fork fails to parse an `A`, it's impossible to tell
    /// whether that was because of a syntax error and the user meant to provide
    /// an `A`, or that the `A`s are finished and it's time to start parsing
    /// `B`s. Use with care.
    ///
    /// Also note that if `A` is a subset of `B`, `A* B*` can be parsed by
    /// parsing `B*` and removing the leading members of `A` from the
    /// repetition, bypassing the need to involve the downsides associated with
    /// speculative parsing.
    ///
    /// [`ParseStream::fork`]: ParseBuffer::fork
    ///
    /// # Example
    ///
    /// There has been chatter about the possibility of making the colons in the
    /// turbofish syntax like `path::to::<T>` no longer required by accepting
    /// `path::to<T>` in expression position. Specifically, according to [RFC
    /// 2544], [`PathSegment`] parsing should always try to consume a following
    /// `<` token as the start of generic arguments, and reset to the `<` if
    /// that fails (e.g. the token is acting as a less-than operator).
    ///
    /// This is the exact kind of parsing behavior which requires the "fork,
    /// try, commit" behavior that [`ParseStream::fork`] discourages. With
    /// `advance_to`, we can avoid having to parse the speculatively parsed
    /// content a second time.

    /// presentation. Even if the lookahead is the "correct" parse, the error
    /// that is shown is that of the "fallback" parse. To use the same example
    /// as the turbofish above, take the following unfinished "turbofish":
    ///
    /// ```text
    /// let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
    /// ```
    ///
    /// If this is parsed as generic arguments, we can provide the error message
    ///
    /// ```text
    /// error: expected identifier
    ///  --> src.rs:L:C
    ///   |
    /// L | let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
    ///   |                                    ^
    /// ```
    ///
    /// but if parsed using the above speculative parsing, it falls back to
    /// assuming that the `<` is a less-than when it fails to parse the generic
    /// arguments, and tries to interpret the `&'a` as the start of a labelled
    /// loop, resulting in the much less helpful error
    ///
    /// ```text
    /// error: expected `:`
    ///  --> src.rs:L:C
    ///   |
    /// L | let _ = f<&'a fn(), for<'a> serde::>();
    ///   |               ^^
    /// ```
    ///
    /// This can be mitigated with various heuristics (two examples: show both
    /// forks' parse errors, or show the one that consumed more tokens), but
    /// when you can control the grammar, sticking to something that can be
    /// parsed LL(3) and without the LL(*) speculative parsing this makes
    /// possible, displaying reasonable errors becomes much more simple.
