//		Traits																											

//§		AsStr																	
/// This trait provides an [`as_str()`](AsStr::as_str()) method.
/// 
/// This trait requires the presence of an [`as_str()`](AsStr::as_str()) method.
/// It's not possible to apply this trait purely as a marker to the existing
/// types such as [`String`] that already have an [`as_str()`](AsStr::as_str())
/// method and have it recognised that they already have it, due to Rust's
/// implementation determination allowing multiple methods of the same name,
/// differentiated by trait. In other words, our trait could define a method
/// with the same name and signature as another trait, but an implementation of
/// the function would not be considered to satisfy both. Both traits would have
/// to have their methods specifically implemented, even if identical, and then
/// the conflict would be resolved at call-time by specifying which trait's
/// method is being called.
/// 
/// However, it is possible to apply this trait and call the underlying method
/// on the type, for such cases as this may be required. This trait should
/// therefore be applied to any types of interest, for which the [`as_str()`](crate::serde::as_str())
/// serialisation function provided by the [`serde`](crate::serde) module is
/// intended to be specified. Suitable standard and common types such as
/// [`String`] and [`str`] have already had this trait implemented, and those
/// implementations will be brought into scope when this trait is used.
/// 
/// In reality, implementations onto standard types should not really be
/// necessary, as this trait exists primarily for use with the
/// [`serde::as_str()`](crate::serde::as_str()) method, and Serde already knows
/// how to handle such types so there is no real advantage to be gained by
/// implementing this trait for such types. The intent and purpose of this trait
/// is to provide a way to specify a string representation for types that do not
/// already have one, such as dual-nature enums, i.e. where they can be
/// represented as either a string or a number. Still, the trait has been
/// applied to some common types for consistency and completeness.
/// 
/// The only current drawback is that trait functions cannot currently be
/// declared as `const`, and the scope of the [`as_str()`](AsStr::as_str())
/// method is usually such that it could be declared as `const` otherwise.
///

		//	to allow the trait to be applied to the type.
		self
	}
}

//§		ByteSized																
/// Fixed-size byte container functionality.
/// 
/// This trait provides a formalised representation of a fixed-size byte array,
/// with support for common conversions, including to and from hex and base64
/// formats.
/// 
/// Notably, it is defined in a way that allows implementation onto third-party
/// types, i.e. those from other libraries, boosting their functionality with
/// additional methods. Meanwhile, if applying to an owned type, whether an
/// original or a wrapper, the full range of trait implementations for various
/// conversions and similar is available via the [`ByteSizedFull`] trait.
/// 
/// The container is expected to be stored internally as `[u8; N]`, where `N` is
/// defined upon the implementation of this trait — but the actual internal type
/// is arbitrary. Because there may or may not be control over the internal type
/// (for instance when implementing for a third-party type), the methods that
/// require the ability to mutate or consume the internal type are split out
/// into a separate [`ByteSizedMut`] trait.
///
/// The conversion to and from a [`String`] defaults to using hex strings rather
/// than base64-encoded strings, because this is more common for the primary use
/// case of hashes and keys, due to it being a fixed-length string that is easy
/// to read, verify, and transmit without any compatibility issues. However,
/// base64 conversion functions are also provided for convenience in case that
/// format is preferred.

	/// does not allocate new memory or change the ownership of the byte data.
	/// This method is useful when you need to work with the bytes of the
	/// container in a read-only fashion, or when you want to avoid copying the
	/// data.
	/// 
	///   - This method returns a slice (`&[u8; Self::SIZE]`) referencing the

	/// non-destructive, read-only manner while keeping the original container

/// Rust's [`From`] trait provides an infallible (and lossless) mechanism to
/// convert one type to another, and [`TryFrom`] provides the equivalent
/// fallible mechanism. However, it isn't possible to implement both at the same
/// time, because implementing [`From`] brings [`Into`] along for free for the
/// reverse operation, and Rust implements a blanket `impl<T, U> TryFrom<U> for
/// T, where U: Into<T>` meaning that [`TryFrom`] is available (yet infallible)
/// for all implementations of [`From`].
/// 
/// Therefore, this trait exists in order to provide a non-conflicting mechanism
/// for implementing [`From`]-style conversions in situations that *can* fail,
/// but in which failure is not necessarily important.
/// 
/// A good example is that of converting a base64-encoded string into a
/// fixed-length array of bytes: it will likely be important to deal with
/// decoding errors, but the possible truncation may not matter. Therefore,
/// [`TryFrom`] could be implemented for both [`String`] and [`Vec<u8>`](Vec),
/// but additionally [`ForceFrom`] could be implemented for [`Vec<u8>`](Vec).
/// This then ensures that all [`String`] decoding issues will be caught and
/// thought about, but byte data can be chosen to be truncated invisibly, or
/// handled as an error, depending on context.
/// 
/// Handling this as a separate, clearly-signposted approach is more idiomatic
/// than obscuring it behind [`From`], which should always be lossless as well
/// as needing to be infallible. [`ForceFrom`] is essentially a lossy version of
/// [`From`] — which means it should not be used for situations of error that do

	//		normalize															
	/// Normalizes the path.
	/// 
	/// Computes the canonicalized, absolute path of a file or directory, but
	/// without expanding symlinks or checking existence. A path that starts
	/// with `.` or without an initial separator will be interpreted relative to
	/// the current working directory (or the filesystem root if the current
	/// working directory is not accessible). Empty paths and paths of `.` alone
	/// will result in the current working directory being returned.
	/// 
	/// This function will normalize the path by removing any `.` and `..`
	/// segments and returning the "real" path. It does this without touching
	/// the filesystem, and so is an abstract but also simpler version of
	/// [`canonicalize()`](Path::canonicalize()), which does a number of
	/// filesystem checks. It does check for the current working directory, on
	/// which to base relative paths, but does not perform any other checks.
	/// 
	/// Key differences are that [`canonicalize()`](Path::canonicalize()) will
	/// return an error if the path does not exist, and will resolve symlinks.
	/// This function will remove `.` segments, and will remove the parent
	/// segment along with the current segment for `..` segments.

	//		restrict															
	/// Restricts the path.
	/// 
	/// Computes the canonicalized, absolute path of a file or directory, but
	/// without allowing parent directory traversal to go beyond the base path.
	/// If no base path is specified, the current working directory will be
	/// used. If the path starts with `.` then this will be interpreted relative
	/// to the base path.
	/// 
	/// This function calls [`normalize()`](PathExt::normalize()), and so the
	/// fundamental behaviour of the resolution performed is the same as that
	/// function. The difference is that this function will not allow the path
	/// to go beyond the base path, and so any `..` segments will simply be
	/// removed from the path if they would otherwise go beyond the anchor
	/// point.
	/// 
	/// This does have the effect that if a path does try to traverse too far,
	/// it may lose additional components. For example, a path of `../foo` will
	/// end up losing the `foo` component, as the logic will be that `foo` is
	/// intended to be a sibling to the base path and not a child of it, and is
	/// therefore invalid. So if the base directory is `/home/user` then a path
	/// of `../foo` will be resolved to `/home/user` and not `/home/user/foo`.
	/// The effect of this continues further, in that all children of `foo` will
	/// also be deemed invalid. So `../foo/bar` will also be resolved to
	/// `/home/user`, and not `/home/user/foo/bar` or `/home/user/bar`. Care
	/// should therefore be taken when using this function to ensure that the
	/// path returned is valid for the intended use.
	/// 
	/// In the case of the path being absolute, it will be resolved and then
	/// compared against the base path. If the path is a child of the base path
	/// then it will be returned - otherwise the base path will be returned, as
	/// the path is invalid. For example, if the base directory is `/home/user`
	/// then a path of `/home/user/foo` will be returned, but a path of
	/// `/home/otheruser` will return `/home/user`.
	/// 
	/// Note that this function does not touch the filesystem, does not expand
	/// symlinks, and does not check that the path exists - including the
	/// base path. Hence when this documentation talks about base directory,
	/// it does so interchangeably with base path, as the valid intent would be
	/// for the base path to be a directory, but this is not actually checked.
	/// 
	/// # Parameters
	/// 
	/// * `base` - The base path to use. If this is [`None`] then the current
	///            working directory will be used.

	/// 
	/// Removes any [`ParentDir`](std::path::Component::ParentDir) components
	/// from either the beginning of the path or anywhere in the path.
	/// 
	/// This function does not touch the filesystem, or check if the path is
	/// valid or exists. It will also not attempt to resolve the parent
	/// directory references that it removes, so they will be taken out with no
	/// effect on the rest of the path.
	/// 
	/// # Parameters
	/// 
	/// * `remove_all` - If `true` then all parent directory references will be
	///                  removed, otherwise only those at the beginning of the
	///                  path will be removed.

	/// Makes the path relative by removing the root and/or prefix components.
	/// 
	/// Removes any components from the path that are considered to be the root
	/// or prefix of the path. The prefix is this context is not the same as in
	/// [`strip_prefix()`](Path::strip_prefix()), which removes a specific
	/// string prefix from the path. Rather, the prefix here is a
	/// [`PrefixComponent`](std::path::PrefixComponent). A path is considered to
	/// be absolute if it has a root on Unix, or if it has both root and prefix
	/// on Windows. Therefore, in order to convert the path to be relative, both
	/// the root and prefix must be removed.
	/// 
	/// This function does not touch the filesystem, or check if the path is
