eyeball 0.4.0

Add observability to your Rust types!
Documentation
//! This module defines a unique [`Observable`] type that requires `&mut` access
//! to update its inner value but can be dereferenced (immutably).
//!
//! Use this in situations where only a single location in the code should be
//! able to update the inner value.

/// A value whose changes will be broadcast to subscribers.
///
/// `Observable<T>` dereferences to `T`, and does not have methods of its own to
/// not clash with methods of the inner type. Instead, to interact with the
/// `Observable` itself rather than the inner value, use its associated
/// functions (e.g. `Observable::subscribe(observable)`).
