# has-some

Implement the opposite of `is_empty` to promote better semantics for iterator
filters (and other situations) where `!T.is_empty()` is counterintuitive, as
well as introduce filter_friendly versions of `T::is_empty`.
Using `is_empty` in an iterator `filter` method is relatively verbose because
you can't pass the `T::is_empty` function when the iterator item is a reference,
and, anyway, you usually want to _retain_ things that are _not_ empty, a predicate
for which you'll _always_ need a closure.
Basically, it stands that the semantics of "not is_empty" are annoying (well, to me)
when "has some" is clearer, and even `T::is_empty` is annoying when using filters.
This crate, then, addresses those annoyances.
# Examples
It's not really rocket science, but here you go with an example where `is_empty` passed
as a function reference to an iterator filter _does_ work:
```
use has_some::HasSome
let vector = vec!["some_data".to_owned(), "".to_owned(), "more data".to_owned(), "".to_owned()];
let vector2 = vector.clone();
// If you want the empties, you can do
let empties = vector.into_iter().filter(String::is_empty).collect::<Vec<String>>();
assert_eq!(["", ""], empties.as_slice());
// If you want the non-empties, you can now do
let non_empties = vector2.into_iter().filter(String::has_some).collect::<Vec<String>>();
assert_eq!(["some_data", "more data"], non_empties.as_slice());
```
And a common example where you have `Items` that are _double_ references:
```
use has_some::HasSome
let vector = vec!["some_data", "", "more data", ""];
// If you want the empties, you can do
let empties = vector.iter().filter(str::is_empty3).collect::<Vec<&&str>>();
assert_eq!([&"", &""], empties.as_slice());
// If you want the non-empties, you can now do
let non_empties = vector2.iter().filter(str::has_some3).collect::<Vec<&&str>>();
assert_eq!([&"some_data", &"more data"], non_empties.as_slice());
```
