//! # orx-pseudo-default
//!
//! [![orx-pseudo-default crate](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/orx-pseudo-default.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/orx-pseudo-default)
//! [![orx-pseudo-default documentation](https://docs.rs/orx-pseudo-default/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/orx-pseudo-default)
//!
//! `PseudoDefault` trait allows to create a cheap default instance of a type, which **does not claim to be useful**.
//!
//! The difference of `PseudoDefault` from `Default` is the relaxed expectation of the created instance to be useful.
//!
//! The main use case of the trait is when we need to create a cheap instance of a type without any arguments, only to throw away afterwards. Therefore, created instance does not need to be a decent one.
//!
//! This trait allows to avoid unsafe code in certain use cases. For instance:
//! * We can avoid tricks such as uninit, manually-drop, etc. that requires to be extremely careful, when we could've actually created a valid instance much more easily.
//! * We can use pseudo-default to fill the gaps when we need to take out an element from a collection of types that cannot implement Default.
//!
//! Note that pseudo-default requirement is more relaxed than that of default, and hence,
//! * types implementing Default can implement PseudoDefault,
//! * additionally, types that cannot implement Default can manually implement PseudoDefault, provided that it is safe and cheap to create a pseudo instance of the type without any arguments.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! Consider the following fictional type `Share` which divides a whole into pieces. Without providing the `number_of_shares`, this type does not have a meaning.
//!
//! **Therefore, we cannot justify implementing `Default`, it would be misleading.**
//!
//! If we still need to be able to create Share's for some reason, we can simply use `pseudo_default`. We would know that the created type does not promise to make sense behaviorally; however, it is still a cheap and valid instance that can be safely dropped.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use orx_pseudo_default::PseudoDefault;
//!
//! struct Share {
//!     number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize,
//! }
//!
//! impl Share {
//!     fn share_size(&self, whole_amount: usize) -> usize {
//!         whole_amount / self.number_of_shares
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl PseudoDefault for Share {
//!     fn pseudo_default() -> Self {
//!         Self {
//!             number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize::new(1).unwrap(),
//!         }
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! A more advanced use case could be the following. Assume that we are trying to create a vec wrapper called `TakeVec` with the following features;
//! * it allows to take out elements by index by a method called `take`
//! * we should be able to wrap an allocated vec without any additional allocation
//! * we need to be able to give back the originally allocated vec
//! * we want to achieve this without unsafe code
//!
//! It is trivial to implement this with `Default` but we want to be less restrictive on the constraint so that it works for non-default types as well. We can use PseudoDefault for this.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use orx_pseudo_default::PseudoDefault;
//!
//! struct TakeVec<T>(Vec<T>);
//! # struct Share {
//! #     number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize,
//! # }
//! #
//! # impl Share {
//! #     fn share_size(&self, whole_amount: usize) -> usize {
//! #         whole_amount / self.number_of_shares
//! #     }
//! # }
//! #
//! # impl PseudoDefault for Share {
//! #     fn pseudo_default() -> Self {
//! #         Self {
//! #             number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize::new(1).unwrap(),
//! #         }
//! #     }
//! # }
//!
//! impl<T> From<Vec<T>> for TakeVec<T> {
//!     fn from(inner: Vec<T>) -> Self {
//!         Self(inner)
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl<T> From<TakeVec<T>> for Vec<T> {
//!     fn from(value: TakeVec<T>) -> Self {
//!         value.0
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! impl<T: PseudoDefault> TakeVec<T> {
//!     fn take(&mut self, index: usize) -> Option<T> {
//!         self.0.get_mut(index).map(|element| {
//!             let mut value = T::pseudo_default();
//!             std::mem::swap(&mut value, element);
//!             value
//!         })
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // implemented default types
//!
//! let mut vec: TakeVec<_> = vec![0, 1, 2, 3].into();
//! assert_eq!(vec.take(2), Some(2));
//!
//! let mut vec: TakeVec<_> = vec![0.to_string(), 1.to_string()].into();
//! assert_eq!(vec.take(0), Some(String::from("0")));
//!
//! // non-default types
//!
//! let mut vec: TakeVec<_> = vec![
//!     Share {
//!         number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize::new(42).unwrap(),
//!     },
//!     Share {
//!         number_of_shares: std::num::NonZeroUsize::new(7).unwrap(),
//!     },
//! ]
//! .into();
//! assert_eq!(vec.take(0).map(|x| x.number_of_shares.into()), Some(42));
//! ```
//!
//! ### Derive
//!
//! Similar to `Default`, it is possible to derive `PseudoDefault` provided that all members also implement `PseudoDefault`.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use orx_pseudo_default::*;
//!
//! #[derive(PseudoDefault)]
//! struct ChildStruct {
//!     a: String,
//!     b: char,
//!     c: Vec<u32>,
//! }
//!
//! #[derive(PseudoDefault)]
//! struct MyStruct {
//!     x: ChildStruct,
//!     y: bool,
//!     z: Option<usize>,
//! }
//!
//! assert_eq!(String::pseudo_default(), MyStruct::pseudo_default().x.a);
//! assert_eq!(char::pseudo_default(), MyStruct::pseudo_default().x.b);
//! assert_eq!(Vec::<u32>::pseudo_default(), MyStruct::pseudo_default().x.c);
//! assert_eq!(bool::pseudo_default(), MyStruct::pseudo_default().y);
//! assert_eq!(
//!     Option::<usize>::pseudo_default(),
//!     MyStruct::pseudo_default().z
//! );
//! ```
