/// The `Iterable` proc macro.
///
/// Deriving this macro for your struct will make it "iterable". An iterable struct allows you to iterate over its fields, returning a tuple containing the field name as a static string and a reference to the field's value as `dyn Any`.
///
/// # Limitations
///
/// - Only structs are supported, not enums or unions.
/// - Only structs with named fields are supported.
///
/// # Usage
///
/// Add the derive attribute (`#[derive(Iterable)]`) above your struct definition.
///
/// ```
/// use struct_iterable::Iterable;
///
/// #[derive(Iterable)]
/// struct MyStruct {
///     field1: i32,
///     field2: String,
/// }
/// ```
///
/// You can now call the `iter` method on instances of your struct to get an iterator over its fields:
///
/// ```
/// let my_instance = MyStruct {
///     field1: 42,
///     field2: "Hello, world!".to_string(),
/// };
///
/// for (field_name, field_value) in my_instance.iter() {
///     println!("{}: {:?}", field_name, field_value);
/// }
/// ```
