//----------- Mx -------------------------------------------------------------

/// A host that can exchange mail for this domain.
///
/// An [`Mx`] record indicates that a domain name can receive e-mail, and it
/// specifies (the domain name of) the mail server that e-mail for that domain
/// should be sent to. A domain name can be associated with multiple mail
/// servers (using multiple [`Mx`] records); each one is assigned a priority
/// for load balancing.
///
// TODO: If there's a conventional algorithm for picking a mail server (i.e.
// how the probabilities are calculated for a random selection), add it here.
//
/// [`Mx`] is specified by [RFC 1035, section 3.3.9].
///
/// [RFC 1035, section 3.3.9]: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035#section-3.3.9
///
/// ## Wire Format
///
/// The wire format of an [`Mx`] record is the 16-bit preference number (as a
/// big-endian integer) followed by the domain name of the mail server. This
/// domain name may be compressed in DNS messages.
///
/// ## Usage
///
/// Because [`Mx`] is a record data type, it is usually handled within an enum
/// like [`RecordData`]. This section describes how to use it independently
/// (or when building new record data from scratch).
///
/// [`RecordData`]: crate::new::rdata::RecordData
///
/// In order to build an [`Mx`], it's first important to choose a domain name
/// type. For short-term usage (where the [`Mx`] is a local variable), it is
/// common to pick [`RevNameBuf`]. If the [`Mx`] will be placed on the heap,
/// <code>Box&lt;[`RevName`]&gt;</code> will be more efficient.
///
/// [`RevName`]: crate::new::base::name::RevName
/// [`RevNameBuf`]: crate::new::base::name::RevNameBuf
///
/// The primary way to build a new [`Mx`] is to construct each field manually.
/// To parse an [`Mx`] from a DNS message, use [`ParseMessageBytes`]. In case
/// the input bytes don't use name compression, [`ParseBytes`] can be used.
///
/// ```
/// # use domain::new::base::name::{Name, RevNameBuf};
/// # use domain::new::base::wire::{BuildBytes, ParseBytes, ParseBytesZC};
/// # use domain::new::rdata::Mx;
/// #
/// // Build an 'Mx' manually:
/// let manual: Mx<RevNameBuf> = Mx {
///     preference: 10.into(),
///     exchange: "example.org".parse().unwrap(),
/// };
///
/// let bytes = b"\x00\x0A\x07example\x03org\x00";
/// # let mut buffer = [0u8; 15];
/// # manual.build_bytes(&mut buffer).unwrap();
/// # assert_eq!(*bytes, buffer);
///
/// // Parse an 'Mx' from the wire format, without name decompression:
/// let from_wire: Mx<RevNameBuf> = Mx::parse_bytes(bytes).unwrap();
/// # assert_eq!(manual, from_wire);
///
/// // See 'ParseMessageBytes' for parsing with name decompression.
/// ```
///
/// Since [`Mx`] is a sized type, and it implements [`Copy`] and [`Clone`],
/// it's straightforward to handle and move around. However, this depends on
/// the domain name type. It can be changed using [`Mx::map_name()`] and
/// [`Mx::map_name_by_ref()`].
///
/// For debugging, [`Mx`] can be formatted using [`fmt::Debug`].
///
/// [`fmt::Debug`]: core::fmt::Debug
///
/// To serialize an [`Mx`] in the wire format, use [`BuildInMessage`] (which
/// supports name compression). If name compression is not desired, use
/// [`BuildBytes`].
