/// [Conditionally aliases a type](crate#conditional-typing) using a [`bool`]
/// constant.
///
/// This is the Rust equivalent of [`std::conditional_t` in C++](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/conditional).
/// Unlike the [`Either`] type, the type chosen by `CondType` is aliased, rather
/// than wrapped with an [`enum`] type. This may be considered a form of [dependent typing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependent_type),
/// but it is limited in ability and is restricted to compile-time constants
/// rather than runtime values.
///
/// [`enum`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/keyword.enum.html
/// [`Either`]: https://docs.rs/either/latest/either/enum.Either.html
///
/// # Examples
///
/// In the following example, `CondType` aliases [`&str`](str) or [`i32`]:
///
/// ```
/// use condtype::CondType;
///
/// let str: CondType<true, &str, i32> = "hello";
/// let int: CondType<false, &str, i32> = 42;
/// ```
///
/// This can also alias <code>\![Sized]</code> types:
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::CondType;
/// type T = CondType<true, str, [u8]>;
///
/// let val: &T = "world";
/// ```
///
/// Rather than assign a value by knowing the condition, this can be used with
/// [`condval!`] to choose a value based on the same condition:
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::*;
/// const COND: bool = // ...
/// # true;
///
/// let val: CondType<COND, &str, i32> = condval!(if COND {
/// "hello"
/// } else {
/// 42
/// });
/// ```
pub type CondType<const B: bool, T, F> = Type;
/// Instantiates a [conditionally-typed](crate#conditional-typing) value.
///
/// Attempting to return different types from [`if`]/[`else`] is not normally
/// possible since both branches must produce the same type:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// let val = if true { "hello" } else { 42 };
/// ```
///
/// This macro enables returning different types by making the type be
/// conditional on a [`const`] [`bool`]:
///
/// ```
/// use condtype::condval;
///
/// let val: &str = condval!(if true { "hello" } else { 42 });
/// let val: i32 = condval!(if false { "hello" } else { 42 });
/// ```
///
/// # Performance
///
/// This macro uses a pattern called ["TT munching"](https://veykril.github.io/tlborm/decl-macros/patterns/tt-muncher.html)
/// to parse the [`if`] condition expression. Compile times for TT munchers are
/// quadratic relative to the input length, so an expression like `!!!!!!!COND`
/// will compile slightly slower than `!COND` because it recurses 6 more times.
///
/// This can be mitigated by:
/// - Moving all logic in the [`if`] condition to a separate [`const`].
/// - Wrapping the logic in a block, e.g. `{ !true && !false }`.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Given two conditions, the following code will construct either a
/// [`&str`](str), [`i32`], or [`Vec`]:
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::condval;
/// const COND1: bool = // ...
/// # true;
/// const COND2: bool = // ...
/// # true;
///
/// let str = "hello";
/// let int = 42;
/// let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
///
/// let val = condval!(if COND1 {
/// str
/// } else if COND2 {
/// int
/// } else {
/// vec
/// });
/// ```
///
/// `if let` pattern matching is also supported:
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::*;
/// const STR: Option<&str> = // ...
/// # None;
///
/// let val = condval!(if let Some(str) = STR {
/// str.to_uppercase()
/// } else {
/// 42
/// });
/// ```
///
/// This macro can be used with [`CondType`] to construct [`const`] values:
///
/// ```
/// use condtype::{condval, CondType};
///
/// const COND: bool = // ...
/// # true;
///
/// const VAL: CondType<COND, &str, i32> = condval!(if COND {
/// "hello"
/// } else {
/// 42
/// });
/// ```
///
/// Each branch is lazily evaluated, so there are no effects from unvisited
/// branches:
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::*;
/// let x;
///
/// let val = condval!(if true {
/// x = 10;
/// "hello"
/// } else {
/// x = 50;
/// 42
/// });
///
/// assert_eq!(x, 10);
/// assert_eq!(val, "hello");
/// ```
///
/// Branch conditions can be any [`bool`] expression. However, see
/// [performance advice](#performance).
///
/// ```
/// # use condtype::*;
/// let val = condval!(if !true && !false {
/// "hello"
/// } else {
/// 42
/// });
///
/// assert_eq!(val, 42);
/// ```
///
/// Assigning an incorrect type will cause a compile failure:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # use condtype::*;
/// let val: bool = condval!(if true {
/// "hello"
/// } else {
/// 42
/// });
/// ```
///
/// Attempting to reuse a non-[`Copy`] value from either branch will cause a
/// compile failure, because it has been moved into that branch and can thus no
/// longer be used in the outer context:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # use condtype::*;
/// let int = 42;
/// let vec = vec![1, 2, 3];
///
/// let val = condval!(if true {
/// int
/// } else {
/// vec
/// });
///
/// println!("{:?}", vec);
/// ```
