Collection Traits (cl-traits)

Yet another library to provide traits that describe collections. This is a best effort without GAT.

Many data structures have unique features that make it difficult or even impossible to create a single trait that fits all. That is why this crate provides a single method for each trait to achieve maximum flexibility and freedom.

```rust use cl_traits::{Push, Slice};

trait GenericVector: Push + Slice {} impl GenericVector for T where T: Push + Slice {}

struct SomeCustomVector(Vec);

impl Push for SomeCustomVector { type PushRet = ();

fn push(&mut self, elem: i32) -> Self::PushRet { self.0.push(elem); } }

impl Slice for SomeCustomVector { type SliceWrapper = [i32];

fn slice(&self) -> &Self::SliceWrapper { self.0.as_slice() } }

fn main() { let mut v = SomeCustomVector(vec![1, 2, 3]); v.push(4); assert_eq!(v.slice(), &[1, 2, 3, 4]); } ```

Future

In the future, given some context and assurance, this crate might provide more complex traits, e.g., ContiguousIndexedSparseCollection.
