1//! Foldable type class.

13/// A type class for structures that can be folded to a single value.
14///
15/// A `Foldable` represents a structure that can be folded over to combine its elements
16/// into a single result.
17///
18/// ### Minimal Implementation
19///
20/// A minimal implementation of `Foldable` requires implementing either [`Foldable::fold_right`] or [`Foldable::fold_map`].
21///
22/// *   If [`Foldable::fold_right`] is implemented, [`Foldable::fold_map`] and [`Foldable::fold_left`] are derived from it.
23/// *   If [`Foldable::fold_map`] is implemented, [`Foldable::fold_right`] is derived from it, and [`Foldable::fold_left`] is derived from the derived [`Foldable::fold_right`].
24///
25/// Note that [`Foldable::fold_left`] is not sufficient on its own because the default implementations of [`Foldable::fold_right`] and [`Foldable::fold_map`] do not depend on it.
