One more line:

/// In addition to general identifier validity requirements, raw identifiers cannot be created for keywords usable in path segments (`self`, `super` and others).

That leaves me somewhat confused; what does "general identifier validity requirements" entail here? Surely Ident::new_raw has fewer restrictions than Ident::new_raw but your wording suggests it has more -- in particular, when will Ident::new_raw panic?

"general identifier validity requirements" -> "general identifier validity requirements inherited from Ident::new".
We can point to the reference or something that describes what is an identifier.

It does have more restrictions.

in particular, when will Ident::new_raw panic?

"raw identifiers cannot be created for" -> "this function will panic on attempts to create"

It does have more restrictions.

Ah! $ident accepts keywords as well whereas it does not accept r#self -- that's pretty counter-intuitive. I think amending the documentation of fn new would be good as well to note the fact that keywords are allowed.
