Import CompilerPluginSupport not mentioned anywhere in TSPL

Swift Documentation

i tried following the instructions at

https://docs.swift.org/swift-book/documentation/the-swift-programming-language/macros/#Implementing-a-Macro

to add a macro to my project. it didn’t work.

error: type 'Target' has no member 'macro'
        .macro(name: "InlineASCIIMacro",
        ~^~~~~
error: type 'Any' has no member 'product'
                .product(name: "SwiftSyntaxMacros", package: "swift-syntax"),
                ~^~~~~~~
error: type 'Any' has no member 'product'
                .product(name: "SwiftCompilerPlugin", package: "swift-syntax"),

the reason? the Package.swift was missing the

import CompilerPluginSupport

which is not mentioned anywhere on that TSPL page. it should really mention that?

There's an open pull request: apple/swift-book#184

(TSPL uses the Swift Documentation category.)
