//! ## Module: Balanced Ternary `Digit`
//!
//! This module defines the `Digit` type for the balanced ternary numeral system,
//! along with its associated operations and functionality.
//!
//! ### Key Features
//!
//! - **`Digit` Type**: Represents a digit in the balanced ternary numeral system.
//!     - Possible values: `Neg` (-1), `Zero` (0), `Pos` (+1).
//!     - Provides utility functions for converting between characters, integers, and other formats.
//! - **Arithmetic Operators**: Implements arithmetic operations for digits, including:
//!     - Negation (`Neg`) and Bitwise Not (`Not`).
//!     - Addition (`Add`) and Subtraction (`Sub`).
//!     - Multiplication (`Mul`) and Division (`Div`), with safe handling of divisors (division by zero panics).
//! - **Logical Operators**: Supports bitwise logical operations (AND, OR, XOR) based on ternary logic rules.
//! - **Custom Methods**: Additional utility methods implementing balanced ternary logic principles.
//!
//! ### Supported Use Cases
//!
//! - Arithmetic in balanced ternary numeral systems.
//! - Logic operations in custom numeral systems.
//! - Conversion between balanced ternary representation and more common formats like integers and characters.
//!
//! ## `Digit` type arithmetical and logical operations
//!
//! - `Neg` and `Not` for `Digit`: Negates the digit value, adhering to balanced ternary rules.
//! - `Add<Digit>` for `Digit`: Adds two `Digit` values and returns a `Ternary`.
//! - `Sub<Digit>` for `Digit`: Subtracts one `Digit` from another and returns a `Ternary`.
//! - `Mul<Digit>` for `Digit`: Multiplies two `Digit` values and returns a `Digit`.
//! - `Div<Digit>` for `Digit`: Divides one `Digit` by another and returns a `Digit`. Division by zero panics.
//!
//! ### Logical Operations for `Digit`
//!
//! The `Digit` type supports bitwise logical operations, which are implemented according to logical rules applicable to balanced ternary digits.
//!
//! ### Digits operations
//!
//! #### Unary operations
//!
//! These operations (except inc & dec) can be applied for `Ternary` with `Ternary::each(operator)`:
//!
//! | Unary operations      | - | 0 | + |
//! |-----------------------|---|---|---|
//! | possibly              | - | + | + |
//! | necessary             | - | - | + |
//! | contingently          | - | + | - |
//! | ht_not                | + | - | - |
//! | post                  | 0 | + | - |
//! | pre                   | + | - | 0 |
//! | `!` (not) / `-` (neg) | + | 0 | - |
//! | absolute_positive     | + | 0 | + |
//! | positive              | 0 | 0 | + |
//! | not_negative          | 0 | + | + |
//! | not_positive          | - | - | 0 |
//! | negative              | - | 0 | 0 |
//! | absolute_negative     | - | 0 | - |
//! | inc                   | 0 | + | `+-` |
//! | dec                   | `-+` | - | 0 |
//!
//! `inc` and `dec` can respectively be replaced by `post` and `pre` which are the same operations without the carry digit.
//!
//! #### Binary operations
//!
//! These operations (except add & sub) can be applied for `Ternary` with:
//!
//! - `Ternary::each_with(operator, with)`, or,
//! - `Ternary::each_zip(operator, other)`:
//!
//! | Binary operations | -<br>- | -<br>0 | -<br>+ | 0<br>- | 0<br>0 | 0<br>+ | +<br>- | +<br>0 | +<br>+ |
//! |------------------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|--------|
//! | `+` (add)        | -+     | -      | 0      | -      | 0      | +      | 0      | +      | +-     |
//! | `-` (sub)        | 0      | -      | -+     | +      | 0      | -      | +-     | +      | 0      |
//! | `/` (div)        | +      |        | -      | 0      |        | 0      | -      |        | +      |
//! | `*` (mul)        | +      | 0      | -      | 0      | 0      | 0      | -      | 0      | +      |
//! | `&` (bitand)     | -      | -      | -      | -      | 0      | 0      | -      | 0      | +      |
//! | bi3_and          | -      | 0      | -      | 0      | 0      | 0      | -      | 0      | +      |
//! | `\|` (bitor)     | -      | 0      | +      | 0      | 0      | +      | +      | +      | +      |

//! | `^` (bitxor)     | -      | 0      | +      | 0      | 0      | 0      | +      | 0      | -      |
//! | k3_equiv         | +      | 0      | -      | 0      | 0      | 0      | -      | 0      | +      |
//! | k3_imply         | +      | +      | +      | 0      | 0      | +      | -      | 0      | +      |

//!
//! `/`, `*`, `&`, `|` and `^` should not be used with `Ternary::each_{with,zip}()`.  
//! Instead, use these operators from `Ternary` directly.
//!
//! Do so to `add` and `sub` ternaries, too.
//!
