/// keeping both the original span and the metavariable span. For `tt` metavariables that's not the
/// case however, and there's no place for keeping a second span. So we try to give the single
/// produced span a location that would be most useful in practice (the hygiene part of the span
/// must not be changed).
///
/// Different locations are useful for different purposes:
/// - The original location is useful when we need to report a diagnostic for the original token in
///   isolation, without combining it with any surrounding tokens. This case occurs, but it is not
///   very common in practice.
/// - The metavariable location is useful when we need to somehow combine the token span with spans
///   of its surrounding tokens. This is the most common way to use token spans.
///
/// So this function replaces the original location with the metavariable location in all cases
/// except these two:
/// - The metavariable is an element of undelimited sequence `$($tt)*`.
///   These are typically used for passing larger amounts of code, and tokens in that code usually
///   combine with each other and not with tokens outside of the sequence.
/// - The metavariable span comes from a different crate, then we prefer the more local span.
