//! Helper trait and types for the default set of helpers.
//!
//! The [Helper Trait](self::Helper) should be implemented
//! for custom helpers which can then be added to a registry.
//!
//! Helper `call()` functions accept three arguments:
//!
//! * [rc](crate::render::Render) The active renderer.
//! * [ctx](crate::render::context::Context) Helper arguments and hash parameters.
//! * [template](crate::parser::ast::Node) Inner template when called as a block.
//!
//! The renderer can be used to render inner templates when a helper
//! is called as a block and provides functions for writing to the output destination.
//!
//! The context is used to access the arguments and hash parameters and may also
//! be used for type assertions using the
//! [try_get()](crate::render::context::Context#method.try_get) and
//! [try_hash()](crate::render::context::Context#method.try_hash) methods. The
//! [arity()](crate::render::context::Context#method.arity) method can be used to
//! assert on argument length.
//!
//! When a helper is called as a block the optional template node will be `Some`.
//! Raw helpers can access the inner text using [text()](crate::render::context::Context#method.text).
//!
//! To determine how a helper was invoked requires checking for an inner template
//! or raw text; if neither is available it is a statement:
//!
//! ```ignore
//! if let Some(node) = template {
//!     // Helper was invoked as a block `{{#helper}}...{{/helper}}`
//! } else if let Some(text) = ctx.text() {
//!     // Helper was invoked as a raw block `{{{{helper}}}}...{{{{/helper}}}}`
//! } else {
//!     // Helper was invoked as a statement `{{helper}}`
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## Return Values
//!
//! The signature for helper return values is [HelperValue](HelperValue) which requires
//! that the `call()` function returns an optional [Value](serde_json::Value).
//!
//! A return value is useful when a helper is invoked as a statement; when invoked as
//! a block return `Ok(None)`.
//!
//! If a statement helper is used for side-effects (such as the [Log](log::Log) helper) then
//! return `Ok(None)`.
//!
//! ## Local Helpers
//!
//! Local helpers are defined on [rc](crate::render::Render) using [register_local_helper()](crate::render::Render#method.register_local_helper) and live for the lifetime of the parent helper call.
//!
//! ## Clone
//!
//! Helpers must implement `Clone` so that we can support local helpers.
