//! Implementations for exact-size iterators.
//!
//! In theory all types serialized by ε-serde must be immutable. However, we
//! provide a convenience implementation that serializes [exact-size iterators]
//! returning elements that are [`Borrow<T>`] for some type `T` as boxed
//! slices of `T`.
//!
//! More precisely, we provide a [`SerIter`] type that [wraps] an iterator into
//! a type that can be serialized. We provide a [`From`] implementation for
//! convenience.
//!
//! Note, however, that you must deserialize the iterator as a vector or a
//! boxed slice; see the
//! example in the [crate-level documentation].
//!
//! [exact-size iterators]: core::iter::ExactSizeIterator
//! [`Borrow<T>`]: core::borrow::Borrow
//! [wraps]: SerIter::new
//! [crate-level documentation]: crate
