Write briefly about syntax extension in the syntax section

The currently existing syntax extension facilities don't really merit
their own section.

+## Syntax extensions
+
+There are plans to support user-defined syntax (macros) in Rust. This
+currently only exists in very limited form.
+
+The compiler defines a few built-in syntax extensions. The most useful
+one is `#fmt`, a printf-style text formatting macro that is expanded
+at compile time.
+
+    std::io::writeln(#fmt("%s is %d", "the answer", 42));
+
+`#fmt` supports most of the directives that [printf][pf] supports, but
+will give you a compile-time error when the types of the directives
+don't match the types of the arguments.
+
+[pf]: http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf
+
+All syntax extensions look like `#word`. Another built-in one is
+`#env`, which will look up its argument as an environment variable at
+compile-time.
