//! Evaluation traits for functional data types in Rust.
//!
//! This module provides traits for types that can be evaluated to produce concrete values.
//! These traits are particularly useful for working with lazy computations, thunks, or
//! deferred evaluations in functional programming.
//!
//! # Functional Programming Context
//!
//! In functional programming, evaluation strategies control when expressions are evaluated.
//! The `Evaluate` trait provides mechanisms to work with both eager and lazy evaluation
//! paradigms in Rust, with a focus on referential transparency and consistent results.
//!
//! # Design Philosophy
//!
//! The traits in this module are designed to be:
//!
//! - **Minimal**: Focusing on core evaluation operations
//! - **Ownership-Aware**: Providing both reference and ownership-based methods
//! - **Composable**: Working well with other functional traits
//! - **Performance-Conscious**: Using inline attributes and optimized implementations
//!
//! # Key Traits
//!
//! - `Evaluate`: Core trait for types that can be evaluated to produce values
//! - `EvaluateExt`: Extension trait with utility methods for evaluated values
//!
//! # Laws
//!
//! For a valid `Evaluate` implementation:
//!
//! 1. **Idempotence**: Evaluating an already evaluated value should yield the same result
//! 2. **Referential Transparency**: Evaluation should be consistent for the same input
//! 3. **Consistency**: Evaluating a pure value should return that value unchanged
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use rustica::traits::hkt::HKT;
//! use rustica::traits::evaluate::{Evaluate, EvaluateExt};
//!
//! // A simple lazy computation wrapper
//! struct Lazy<T>(Box<dyn Fn() -> T>);
//!
//! impl<T> HKT for Lazy<T> {
//!     type Source = T;
//!     type Output<U> = Lazy<U>;
//! }
//!
//! impl<T: Clone> Evaluate for Lazy<T> {
//!     fn evaluate(&self) -> Self::Source {
//!         (self.0)()
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Usage
//! let computation: Lazy<i32> = Lazy(Box::new(|| 42));
//! assert_eq!(computation.evaluate(), 42);
//!
//! // Using extension methods
//! let mapped = computation.map_evaluate(|x| x.to_string());
//! assert_eq!(mapped, "42");
//! ```

use crate::traits::hkt::HKT;

/// A trait for types that can be evaluated to produce a value.
///
/// The Evaluate trait represents computations or expressions that can be
/// reduced to a concrete value. This is particularly useful for working with
/// lazy computations, thunks, or deferred evaluations.
///
/// # Type Parameters
/// The trait is implemented on types that implement `HKT`, where:
/// * `Source` is the evaluated result type
///
/// Note: `Output<T>` (from `HKT`) is not used directly by `Evaluate`; it is present to keep
/// `Evaluate` consistent with other higher-kinded traits in this crate.
///
/// # Ownership-Aware API
/// This trait provides both ownership-based and reference-based methods:
/// * `evaluate` - Uses a reference to the computation (non-consuming)
/// * `evaluate_owned` - Takes ownership of the computation (consuming)
///
/// # Performance Considerations
/// - `evaluate` is preferred when you need to keep the original computation
/// - `evaluate_owned` may be more efficient for types where taking ownership avoids cloning
/// - All methods are marked with `#[inline]` to encourage compiler optimization

    /// result for the same input.

    /// The concrete value resulting from the evaluation

    /// allows avoiding cloning or other overhead.
    ///
    /// # Returns
    /// The concrete value resulting from the evaluation
    ///
    /// # Default Implementation
    /// By default, this delegates to `evaluate()`.
    ///
    /// Note: this method requires `Self::Source: Clone` for API consistency across implementers,
    /// even though the default implementation does not necessarily clone.
