/// Declares a [`Part`].

/// Defines an empty struct type and derives all necessary instances to use it as a marker type for

/// This macro can define [`AbstractPart`]s using `part!(PartName);` or `part!(pub PartName);` and
/// [`Field`] parts using `part!(PartName: FieldType);` or `part!(pub PartName: FieldType);`.

/// Concise syntax for partial reference types.
///
/// The first parameter is the reference target type, optionally preceded by a lifetime. The
/// following parameters are the referenced parts, each optionally preceded by the keyword `mut` to
/// indicate a mutable reference to that part. Nested parts can be specified using the pipe syntax
/// of [`nested_part`].
///
/// Examples:
///   * `partial!(Ty, PartA)` is `Const<PartA, Ref<Ty>>`
///   * `partial!('a Ty, mut PartA)` is `Mut<PartA, Ref<'a, Ty>>`
///   * `partial!(Ty, PartA, PartB, mut PartC)` is
///     `Const<PartA, Const<PartB, Mut<PartC, Ref<Ty>>`
///   * `partial!('a Ty, mut PartA | PartB)` is `Mut<Nested<PartA, PartB>, Ref<'a, Ty>>`
