/// A trait for engines retrieving (discarding) arbitrary values from cleartexts .
///
/// # Semantics
///
/// This [discarding](super#operation-semantics) operation fills the `value` arbitrary value with
/// the retrieval of the `input` cleartext. By arbitrary here, we mean that `Value` can be any type
/// that suits the backend implementor (an integer, a struct wrapping integers, a struct wrapping
/// foreign data or any other thing).
///
/// # Formal Definition
pub trait CleartextDiscardingRetrievalEngine<Cleartext, Value>: AbstractEngine

    /// of [`CleartextDiscardingRetrievalError`]. For safety concerns _specific_ to an engine, refer
