//! `no_std` array helpers available without nightly.
//!
//! ## Description
//!
//! Many useful array and slice methods are currently gated by nightly
//! features, though their general functionality and interface is essentially
//! stable. As such this crate provides stable alternatives to the following
//! features, often the same underlying implementation as the current nightly
//! version:
//!
//! - [`array_try_from_fn`]
//! - [`array_try_map`]
//! - [`array_chunks`]
//! - [`slice_as_chunks`]
//! - [`slice_flatten`]
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Users can either import an `Ext` trait (`SliceExt`, `ArrayExt`, or
//! `SliceOfArrayExt`) traits to bring in the desired methods, or use the bare
//! functions. Note that trait methods have the `_ext` suffix to avoid
//! collision with the core library methods.
//!
//! ```
//! use array_util::ArrayExt;
//!
//! let a = ["1", "2", "3"];
//! let b = a.try_map_ext(|v| v.parse::<u32>()).unwrap().map(|v| v + 1);
//! assert_eq!(b, [2, 3, 4]);
//!
//! let a = ["1", "2a", "3"];
//! let b = a.try_map_ext(|v| v.parse::<u32>());
//! assert!(b.is_err());
//! ```
//!
//! ```
//! let a = ["1", "2", "3"];
//! let b = array_util::try_map(a, |v| v.parse::<u32>()).unwrap().map(|v| v + 1);
//! assert_eq!(b, [2, 3, 4]);
//!
//! let a = ["1", "2a", "3"];
//! let b = array_util::try_map(a, |v| v.parse::<u32>());
//! assert!(b.is_err());
//! ```
//!
//! ## Limitations
//!
//! These functions aren't stabilized because they rely on undecided behaviors.
//! For example, "should compile-time errors be generated for `0` length
//! arrays?" or "What should the associated types and traits of `Try` be?". As
//! these questions remain unresolved, reliance on the particular answers
//! this crate has chosen in it's implementation may make porting to the
//! eventual stabilized version more painful. If you're just calling functions,
//! you'll probably be fine, but try to avoid using the `Ext` traits as bounds.
