/// Types that can be sent Objective-C messages.
///
/// Implementing this provides [`MessageReceiver`] implementations for common
/// pointer types and references to the type, which allows using them as the
/// receiver (first argument) in the [`msg_send!`][`crate::msg_send`] macro.
///
/// This trait also allows the object to be used in [`Retained`].
///
/// This is a subtrait of [`RefEncode`], meaning the type must also implement
/// that, almost always with [`RefEncode::ENCODING_REF`] being
/// [`Encoding::Object`].
///
/// This can be implemented for unsized (`!Sized`) types, but the intention is
/// not to support dynamically sized types like slices, only `extern type`s
/// (which is currently unstable).
///
/// [`MessageReceiver`]: crate::runtime::MessageReceiver
/// [`Encoding::Object`]: crate::Encoding::Object
///
///
/// # `Drop` interaction
///
/// If the inner type implements [`Drop`], that implementation will very
/// likely not be called, since there is no way to ensure that the Objective-C
/// runtime will do so. If you need to run some code when the object is
/// destroyed, implement the `dealloc` method instead.
///
/// The [`define_class!`] macro does this for you, but the [`extern_class!`]
/// macro fundamentally cannot.
///
/// [`define_class!`]: crate::define_class
/// [`extern_class!`]: crate::extern_class
///
///
/// # Safety
///
/// The type must represent an Objective-C object, meaning it:
/// - Must be valid to reinterpret as [`AnyObject`].
/// - Must be able to be the receiver of an Objective-C message sent with
///   [`objc_msgSend`] or similar.
/// - Must respond to the standard memory management `retain`, `release` and
///   `autorelease` messages.
/// - Must support weak references. (In the future we should probably make a
///   new trait for this, for example `NSTextView` only supports weak
///   references on macOS 10.12 or above).
///
/// [`AnyObject`]: crate::runtime::AnyObject
/// [`objc_msgSend`]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/objectivec/1456712-objc_msgsend
///
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use objc2::runtime::NSObject;
/// use objc2::{Encoding, Message, RefEncode};
///
/// #[repr(C)]
/// struct MyObject {
///     // This has the exact same layout as `NSObject`
///     inner: NSObject
/// }
///
/// unsafe impl RefEncode for MyObject {
///     const ENCODING_REF: Encoding = Encoding::Object;
/// }
///
/// unsafe impl Message for MyObject {}
///
/// // `*mut MyObject` and other pointer/reference types to the object can
/// // now be used in `msg_send!`
/// //
/// // And `Retained<MyObject>` can now be constructed.
/// ```
///
/// Implement the trait manually for a class with a lifetime parameter.
///
/// ```
#[doc = include_str!("../examples/class_with_lifetime.rs")]

    /// it from the lifetime information carried by the reference.
    ///
    /// This is similar to using [`Clone` on `Retained<Self>`][clone-id], with
    /// the addition that it can be used on a plain reference.
    ///
    /// If your type may have come from a mutable type like `NSMutableString`,
    /// you should consider using `NSCopying::copy` instead to avoid carrying
    /// around a mutable string when you did not intend to.

/// Marks types that represent specific classes.

/// Sometimes it is enough to generically know that a type is messageable,

/// trait. But often, you have an object that you know represents a specific
/// Objective-C class - this trait allows you to communicate that, as well as
/// a few properties of the class to the rest of the type-system.
///
/// This is implemented for your type by the
/// [`define_class!`][crate::define_class] and
/// [`extern_class!`][crate::extern_class] macros.
///
///
/// # Safety
///
/// This is meant to be a sealed trait, and should not be implemented outside
/// of the aforementioned macros. See those for safety preconditions.
///
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Use the trait to access the [`AnyClass`] of an object.
///
/// ```
/// use objc2::{ClassType, msg_send};
/// use objc2::rc::Retained;
/// # use objc2::runtime::{NSObject as MyObject};
///
/// // Get the class of the object.
/// let cls = <MyObject as ClassType>::class();
/// // Or, since the trait is in scope.
/// let cls = MyObject::class();
///
/// // We can now access properties of the class.
/// assert_eq!(cls.name().to_str().unwrap(), MyObject::NAME);
///
/// // And we can send messages to the class.
/// //
/// // SAFETY:
/// // - The class is `MyObject`, which can safely be initialized with `new`.
/// // - The return type is correctly specified.
/// let obj: Retained<MyObject> = unsafe { msg_send![cls, new] };
/// ```
///
/// Use the trait to allocate a new instance of an object.
///
/// ```
/// use objc2::{msg_send, AnyThread};
/// use objc2::rc::Retained;
/// # use objc2::runtime::{NSObject as MyObject};
///
/// let obj = MyObject::alloc();
///
/// // Now we can call initializers on this newly allocated object.
/// //
/// // SAFETY: `MyObject` can safely be initialized with `init`.
/// let obj: Retained<MyObject> = unsafe { msg_send![obj, init] };
/// ```
///
/// Use the [`extern_class!`][crate::extern_class] macro to implement this
/// trait for a type.

//
// 1. The type must represent a specific class.
// 2. [`Self::Super`] must be a superclass of the class (or something that
//    represents any object, like [`AnyObject`][crate::runtime::AnyObject]).
