//! The main trait used for representing the
//! name of a participant.
//!
//! Every structure that relies on this trait, such as
//! [`RoleA`] and
//! [`RoleB`], contains at
//! least a parameter, which is a [`Role`]
//! itself. The only exception is
//! [`RoleEnd`], which represents
//! the end of any ordering.
//!
//! [`Role`]: crate::role::Role
//! [`RoleEnd`]: crate::role::end::RoleEnd
//! [`RoleA`]: crate::role::a::RoleA
//! [`RoleB`]: crate::role::b::RoleB

    // unused, but may be necessary for specific cases, such as
    // closing a connection.
