-        - If `reference_node` has no location info, no-op.

+      - If `tree is None`, return immediately (no-op).
       - If `tree` is a `list` of AST nodes, loop over it.
 
+    The `mode` parameter:
+
+      - If `mode="reference"`, populate any missing location info by
+        copying it from `reference_node`. Always use the same values.
+
+        Good for a macro expander.
+
+      - If `mode="update"`, behave exactly like `ast.fix_missing_locations`,

+        `col_offset` from `reference_node` (instead of using `1` and `0`
+        like `ast.fix_missing_locations` does).

+        So if a node is missing location info, copy the current reference info
+        in, but if it has location info, then update the reference info.
+

+
+      - If `mode="overwrite"`, copy location info from `reference_node`,
+        regardless of if the target node already has it.
+
+        Good when `tree` is a code template that comes from another file,
+        so that any line numbers already in the AST would be misleading
+        at the use site.
