Merge branch '2.10.x' into 210-merge
* 2.10.x: (37 commits) Added logic and tests for unchecked refinements. Moved isNonRefinementClassType somewhere logical. Moved two tests to less breaky locations. Nailed down the "impossible match" logic. Finish docs for string interpolation. moves Context.ParseError outside the cake revives macros.Infrastructure moves Context.runtimeUniverse to TreeBuild.mkRuntimeUniverseRef a more precise type for Context.mirror gets rid of macros.Infrastructure simplifies Context.Run and Context.CompilationUnit exposes Position.source as SourceFile removes extraneous stuff from macros.Infrastructure merges macros.CapturedVariables into macros.Universe merges macros.Exprs and macros.TypeTags into Context removes front ends from scala-reflect.jar PositionApi => Position hides BuildUtils from Scaladoc MirrorOf => Mirror docs.pre-lib now checks for mods in reflect ...

-/** A class to support string interpolation.
- * This class supports string interpolation as outlined in Scala SIP-11.
- * It needs to be fully documented once the SIP is accepted.
+/** This class provides the basic mechanism to do String Interpolation.
+ * String Interpolation allows users
+ * to embed variable references directly in *processed* string literals.
+ * Here's an example:
+ * {{{
+ * val name = "James"
+ * println(s"Hello, $name") // Hello, James
+ * }}}
*
+ * Any processed string literal is rewritten as an instantiation and
+ * method call against this class. For example:
+ * {{{
+ * s"Hello, $name"
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * is rewritten to be:
+ *
+ * {{{
+ * new StringContext("Hello, ", "").s(name)
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * By default, this class provides the `raw`, `s` and `f` methods as
+ * available interpolators.
+ *
+ * To provide your own string interpolator, create an implicit class
+ * which adds a method to `StringContext`. Here's an example:
+ * {{{
+ * implicit class JsonHelper(val sc: StringContext) extends AnyVal {
+ * def json(args: Any*): JSONObject = ...
+ * }
+ * val x: JSONObject = json"{ a: $a }"
+ * }}}
+ *
+ * Here the `JsonHelper` extenion class implicitly adds the `json` method to
+ * `StringContext` which can be used for `json` string literals.
+ *
+ * @since 2.10.0
* @param parts The parts that make up the interpolated string,
* without the expressions that get inserted by interpolation.
