//! A type that can be treated as a difference.
//!
//! Differential dataflow most commonly tracks the counts associated with records in a multiset, but it
//! generalizes to tracking any map from the records to an Abelian group. The most common generalization
//! is when we maintain both a count and another accumulation, for example height. The differential
//! dataflow collections would then track for each record the total of counts and heights, which allows
//! us to track something like the average.

/// A type that can be an additive identity for all `Semigroup` implementations.
///
/// This method is extracted from `Semigroup` to avoid ambiguity when used.
/// It refers exclusively to the type itself, and whether it will act as the identity
/// in the course of `Semigroup<Self>::plus_equals()`.
pub trait IsZero {
    /// Returns true if the element is the additive identity.
    ///
    /// This is primarily used by differential dataflow to know when it is safe to delete an update.
    /// When a difference accumulates to zero, the difference has no effect on any accumulation and can
    /// be removed.

///
/// These traits are currently the minimal requirements for a type to be a "difference" in differential
/// dataflow. Addition allows differential dataflow to compact multiple updates to the same data, and
/// the test for zero allows differential dataflow to retire updates that have no effect. There is no
/// requirement that the test for zero ever return true, and the zero value does not need to inhabit the
/// type.
///
/// There is a light presumption of commutativity here, in that while we will largely perform addition
/// in order of timestamps, for many types of timestamps there is no total order and consequently no
/// obvious order to respect. Non-commutative semigroups should be used with care.
