//! Higher-ranked traits and types.
//!
//! A higher-ranked type is a type that needs a lifetime to be "complete". Consider the following
//! code.
//! ```rs
//! type IntBorrow<'a> = &'a i32;
//! ```
//! What if we could pass just `IntBorrow` around as a type; without it's lifetime.
//! In Rust syntax, this type would be `for<'a> IntBorrow<'a>`. `'a` can be filled in with any
//! lifetime. Sadly, Rust only allows `for<'a>` in trait objects. However, trait object provide
//! enough for us to implement arbitrary hifher-ranked types with some extra effort.
//!
//! In this module the [`higher_ranked_type!`] macro generates a type that needs a lifetime to
//! be complete. Before a higher-ranked type can be generated we need a higher-ranked trait to
//! describe what behavior the resulting "true" type will have.
//!
//! The [`higher_ranked_trait!`] macro cgenerates a trait that can be used with
//! [`higher_ranked_type!`] and as a bound by code wanting to accept a higher ranked type.
//! Bounding a generic by a higher-ranked trait simultaniously allows any higher-ranked type with
//! a "true" type with the required traits and any lifetime to be given to that "true" type.

/// Used to cause `'lt` to have extra bounds when using `for<'lt>` syntax.
///
/// Including this type where a `for<'lt>` is being generated will result in the following bounds
/// being applied.
/// * `'bound: 'lt` - `'lt` will **not** outlive `'bound`.
/// * `T: 'lt` - `T` will outlive `'lt`.
pub type Bound<'lt, 'bound, T = ()> = (&'lt &'bound (), &'lt T);
