/// A trait for types that are an array.
///
/// An "array", for our purposes, has the following properties:
/// * Owns some number of elements.
/// * The element type can be generic, but must implement [`Default`].
/// * The capacity is fixed at compile time, based on the implementing type.
/// * You can get a shared or mutable slice to the elements.
///
/// You are generally **not** expected to need to implement this yourself. It is
/// already implemented for all the major array lengths (`0..=32` and the powers
/// of 2 up to 4,096), or for all array lengths with the feature `rustc_1_55`.
///
/// **Additional lengths can easily be added upon request.**
///
/// ## Safety Reminder
///
/// Just a reminder: this trait is 100% safe, which means that `unsafe` code
/// **must not** rely on an instance of this trait being correct.
pub trait Array {
/// The type of the items in the thing.
type Item: Default;
/// The number of slots in the thing.
const CAPACITY: usize;
/// Gives a shared slice over the whole thing.
///
/// A correct implementation will return a slice with a length equal to the
/// `CAPACITY` value.
fn as_slice(&self) -> &[Self::Item];
/// Gives a unique slice over the whole thing.
///
/// A correct implementation will return a slice with a length equal to the
/// `CAPACITY` value.
fn as_slice_mut(&mut self) -> &mut [Self::Item];
/// Create a default-initialized instance of ourself, similar to the
/// [`Default`] trait, but implemented for the same range of sizes as
/// [`Array`].
fn default() -> Self;
