//! # Overview
//! The **common-range-tools** crate, is a library that, can be used to find all common intersections for ranges of generic types.  It interoperates with the built in range types for rust via the [std::ops::RangeBounds] trait.  When working with primitive numbers, the increment and decrementing of values are checked (see [working with floats](#working-with-floats), for the exception).  Support for all primitive number types in rust are implemented via the [NumberIncDecCpCmp] object.
//!
//! For dealing with ranges beyond just intersections of
//! numbers see: [Generic Data Types](#generic-data-types).  For working with custom data structures see: [Beyond Generics](#beyond-generics).
//! For working with custom Ranges and range factories see: [Internal Range Trait](#internal-range-trait).
//! For consolidating duplicate and overlapping ranges see [Consolidation of ranges](#consolidation-of-ranges).
//! For finding intersections between muliple [Iterator] instances, see: [Intersections of multiple Iterators](#intersections-of-multiple-iterators).
//!
//! ## Example
//! This is the most basic example, using the default values from [NumberIncDecCpCmp].  The [OverlapIter] is a [DoubleEndedIterator] and can be reversed.
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/example.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//!
//! ## Any Range Example
//! This example converts [std::ops::RangeBounds] instances to [std::ops::RangeInclusive].
//! The bounds to the left or right of .. represent the ($ty::MIN)..($ty::MAX), defined by the [NumberIncDecCpCmp] object.
//! The min and max numbers can be changed, but this example uses the defaults.
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/tldr.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Numeric Boundries
//! When working with boundries it is useful to be able to control how ranges are interpeted.  The defaults provided by [NumberIncDecCpCmp] are useful
//! but do not cover all casees.  The internals of this [crate] allow for setting various options to control how both ranges and intersections are computed.
//!
//! In this example we set the following:
//! | Field | What it does|
//! |------|----|
//! | step | sets the value used to progress to the next begin or end value for a given range |
//! | rebound | sets the value used to redefine a range value fom an instance of: [std::ops::Bound::Excluded] |
//! | min |  the minimum value for ranges in the context of: **..** |
//! | max | the maximum vaue for ranges in the context of: **..** |
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/setting_boundries.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Working with Floats
//! When working with floating points, it's nessesary to understand how floats are handled by the [NumberIncDecCpCmp].
//! Floating point numbers are in a word *imprecise*; The internals of [NumberIncDecCpCmp] does not check [f32] or [f64] for over or underflow;
//! The internals of [NumberIncDecCpCmp] simply checks that the values properly increment and decrement.
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/floats.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Generic Data types
//! The [AnyIncDecCpCmp] object supports working with any data type, provided it implements: [PartialOrd], [std::ops::Add], [std::ops::Sub], [Copy], and [Clone].
//! When working with generics, the value used by *step* and *rebound* values do not have to be the same type as the *values* used by a range.
//! A practical example of this is how [std::time::Duration] and [std::time::SystemTime] handle [std::ops::Add] and [std::ops::Sub].  
//!
//! This is an example that shows how to use [std::time::Duration] to provide the *step* and *rebound* values and [std::time::SystemTime] to operate as the range *values*:
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/systemtime.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//! ## Beyond Generics
//! In some cases the range values do not implement: [PartialOrd], [std::ops::Add], [std::ops::Sub], [Copy], [Clone] or do so in a way
//! that is incompatable with the required data structure used as a value for the range.  The internals of [OverlapIter] use a proxy layer which can be customized to meet most requirements.
//! This example shows how to work with ragnes of custom data strcutres.
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/beyond_any.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Internal Range Trait
//! Rust has no single trait representing rages aside from [std::ops::RangeBounds], which can require recomputing the begin and or end
//! values of a range on each evaluation.  To work around this the internals of this [crate] use a common trait range type of [GetBeginEnd].
//! There is also a factory trait for creating the interal range trait type: [GetBeginEndOption].  This example shows how to implement both a
//! factory of: [GetBeginEndOption] and a range of: [GetBeginEnd].  As a note the [GetBeginEnd] trait is implemnted for [std::ops::RangeInclusive] for the
//! internals of this [crate].
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/getbeginend.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Consolidation of ranges
//! The [Consolidate] object can be used to consolidate duplicate and overlapping ranges via an [Iterator] of ranges.
//! It is recommended to convert an instance of [Consolidate] into an instance of [ConsolidateChecker] instance to verify the integrity of the data returned by the [Iterator].
//!
//! The ranges returned by the [Iterator] must be in [ConsolidationOrder].
//!  - For [ConsolidationOrder::Forward] the expected order is: *start asc, end desc*. For more information see: [crate::sort_forward].
//!  - For [ConsolidationOrder::Reverse] the expected order is: *end desc, start asc*. For more information see: [crate::sort_reverse].
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to use [Consolidate] wrapped in an instance of [ConsolidateChecker] using [ConsolidationOrder::Forward]:
#![doc = "```rust\n"]
#![doc = include_str!("../examples/overlaps.rs")]
#![doc = "\n```"]
//!
//! ## Intersections of multiple Iterators
//! The [Columns] object is a factory can be used to construct an [Iterator] that steps through multiple [Iterator] instances of ranges that can contain duplicate
//! and overlapping ranges that intersect with one another.  Each [Column] added to [Columns] is wrapped in an instance of [ConsolidateChecker] to ensure that the consolidation is occuring in the expected [ConsolidationOrder].
//! The ranges returned by the [Iterator] must be in [ConsolidationOrder], see: [Consolidation of ranges](#consolidation-of-ranges) for more information.
//! Finding the intersections from multiple [Iterator] instances is a complex process and is error prone if the data is not provided in the proper order.
//!
//! The ranges returned by each [Iterator] must be in same [ConsolidationOrder] as all other [Iterator] instances.
//!  - For [ConsolidationOrder::Forward] the expected order is: *start asc, end desc*. For more information see: [crate::sort_forward].
//!  - For [ConsolidationOrder::Reverse] the expected order is: *end desc, start asc*. For more information see: [crate::sort_reverse].
//!
//! This example demonstrates how to create a [ColumnsIter] from a [Columns] instance and walk the results.  This example also
//! includes an example of how to use [crate::sort_forward].
//!

//!
//! # Motivation
//! In truth there doesn't seem to be a library on crates.io provides the following functionality:
//! - A range intersection library that handles columns of [Iterator] ranges and progress through those ranges correctly.   
//! - An intersection library that could be quickly extended to work with any data structure.  
//! - An intersection library that can support any range type via a a common trait.
//! - A reversable range intersection iterator.
//!
//! Other implementations:
//!   - [range-ext](https://docs.rs/range-ext/0.3.0/range_ext/index.html)
//!   - [range-overlap](https://docs.rs/range-overlap/latest/range_overlap/)
//!   - [rangetools](https://crates.io/crates/rangetools)
