//! "Quad-state Either": Quither. In other words, either-or-neither-or-both type.
//!
//! Quither is a type that represents four states:
//! - `Left(L)`
//! - `Right(R)`
//! - `Both(L, R)`
//! - `Neither`
//!
//! This crate also provides an arbitrary combination types of `Either`, `Neither`, and `Both`.
//! For example, `EitherOrBoth<L, R>` is a type that represents either a left (`Left(L)`) or right (`Right(R)`) or both (`Both(L, R)`).
//! These types have consistent APIs (as much as possible ☺) so that you can use them interchangeably.
//!
//! Each combination types implements the common methods greedily, even if it's not very useful for that type itself.
//! For example, `EitherOrNeither` type implements `is_both()` method, even if it always returns `false`.
//!
