// TODO: How are traits reflected? This is needed to support cloning Values, as well as
//       things like formatting. Can't assume things will be `dyn`able

// Traits can be reflected by generating a function alongside them with the same name, which
// returns the necessary info for reflection. A macro is dangerous as it's much more common to have
// a macro with the same name as a trait, as that's the derive convention.
// This can break down if the user also wants a function with that name, but it's the best we have
// currently.

// #[rebound]
// trait Foo: Sized {
//     type Assoc: Sized;
//
//     fn a();
//     fn b(&self);
//
//     fn c() {}
//     fn d(&self) {}
// }

// trait Bar<T> {
//     fn foo() -> T {
//         !
//     }
// }
