//! "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`.
//!
// Pair types, essentially comibinations of `Either`, `Neither`, and `Both`.
/// An enum that represents either a left (`Left(L)`) or right (`Right(R)`) value.
/// An enum that represents a single `Neither` value.
/// An enum that represents a pair of values (`Both(L, R)`).
/// An enum that represents either a left (`Left(L)`) or right (`Right(R)`) or neither (`Neither`).
/// An enum that represents either a left (`Left(L)`) or right (`Right(R)`) or both (`Both(L, R)`).
/// An enum that represents a single `Neither` value or a pair of values (`Both(L, R)`).
/// An enum that represents either an empty value, left value, right value, or both values.
