Orwith
What is this crate?
This crate, orwith, is a Rust crate that turns the word "orwith" into a programmatical concept by abstracting the idea of "and/or" and encapsulating it in an Option-like type.
Why was this crate created?
This crate was created as an example on DEV of how something, in particular, a word, could be represented as a type in a programming language; the word I so happened to choose was "orwith".
What does "orwith" mean?
"Orwith" is a compound of English "or" and English "with".
