// ## Test Matrix for Enum Named (Struct-like) Variants
//
// This matrix guides the testing of `#[ derive( Former ) ]` for enum named (struct-like) variants,
// linking combinations of attributes and variant structures to expected behaviors and
// relevant internal rule numbers.
//
// ---
//
// **Factors:**
//
// 1.  **Number of Fields:**
//     *   Zero (`V {}`)
//     *   One (`V { f1: T1 }`)
//     *   Multiple (`V { f1: T1, f2: T2, ... }`)
// 2.  **Field Type `T1` (for Single-Field):**
//     *   Derives `Former`
//     *   Does NOT derive `Former` (Note: `#[ subform_scalar ]` on a single-field struct variant *always* creates an implicit variant former, so this distinction is less critical than for tuples, but good to keep in mind for consistency if `T1` itself is used in a subform-like way *within* the implicit former).
// 3.  **Variant-Level Attribute:**
//     *   None (Default behavior)
//     *   `#[ scalar ]`
//     *   `#[ subform_scalar ]`
// 4.  **Enum-Level Attribute:**
//     *   None
//     *   `#[ standalone_constructors ]`
// 5.  **Field-Level Attribute `#[ arg_for_constructor ]` (within `#[ standalone_constructors ]` context):**
//     *   Not applicable (for zero-field)
//     *   On the single field (for one-field)
//     *   On all fields / some fields / no fields (for multi-field)
//
