//! Compile-time descriptor of a fidius interface used by the Python loader.
//!
//! The cdylib path doesn't need any of this: the dylib carries its own
//! `PluginRegistry` + vtable that the host introspects at load time. A
//! Python plugin doesn't have a vtable; the host needs an out-of-band hint
//! about which method names exist on the trait, in what order, and with
//! which wire mode. The `#[plugin_interface]` macro emits a
//! `PythonInterfaceDescriptor` const into its companion module to provide
//! exactly that.
//!
//! The descriptor is `'static`-shaped (string slices, slice of structs) so
//! it can sit in the binary's `.rodata` and be referenced freely.

/// Static descriptor for one fidius interface, consumed by the Python
/// loader to validate and dispatch into a Python plugin.
