eq-type 0.1.0

//! A crate that allows declaring an equality bound on two types and coercing between them.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```
//! # use eq_type::Is;
//! #
//! pub trait ResultExt<T, E>: Sized + Is<Result<T, E>> {
//!     /// Given any `E` and `EI` that implement `Into<ER>`, converts from Result<Result<T, EI>, E> to Result<T, ER>.
//!     fn flatten_into<TI, EI, ER>(self) -> Result<TI, ER>
//!     where
//!         T: Is<Result<TI, EI>>,
//!         E: Into<ER>,
//!         EI: Into<ER>,
//!     {
//!         self.coerce().map_err(|e| e.into()).and_then(|x| x.coerce().map_err(|e| e.into()))
//!     }
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() { }
//! ```
