//! The outcome of a solve: every root ([`Solutions::Complete`]), some of
//! them ([`Solutions::Partial`]), or nothing claimed
//! ([`Solutions::Refused`]), over a [`RootSet`]: no root (a proof, with its
//! [`Reason`]), every value, finitely many points, or the points and
//! periodic families of a general solve.
//!
//! Up to 0.48 the solver answered with `Option<Vec<Solution>>` in 25
//! functions and with `SolveOutcome { Solutions(Vec), Identity,
//! NoSolution, Unresolved }` elsewhere, and an empty list meant opposite
//! things: "no root was found" for `SolveOutcome::Solutions(vec![])` (and
//! for the 26 `!s.is_empty()` guards of the dispatch, which went on to the
//! next strategy), "a range restriction proves there is no root" for the
//! `Some(vec![])` of the inversion peeling.  The branches of an inversion
//! were merged by hand, and the merge turned one refused branch next to an
//! empty one into a proof (`|x + i|² = 4` had "no solution" for a real `x`
//! up to 0.48) and roots next to a refused branch into all the roots.  A
//! general solve that met a periodic function of a periodic family said so
//! in a thread-local flag, `PERIOD_CONFLICT`.  Now:
//!
//! - "no root" is [`RootSet::Empty`] with its reason and "nothing found"
//!   is [`Solutions::Refused`]; neither is an empty list
//!   ([`RootSet::Points`] and [`RootSet::Families`] are never empty), and
//!   the type has no `Default`, no `is_empty` and no conversion that
//!   collapses the three cases into `vec![]`.
//! - Alternatives — the branches of an inverse, the factors of a product —
//!   are merged by one rule, [`Solutions::union`]: a refused alternative
//!   makes found roots [`Partial`](Solutions::Partial) and a proof of no
//!   root a refusal; a factor that vanishes identically makes every value
//!   a root.
//! - Nested periodic families are the refusal [`Reason::NestedPeriods`],
//!   which [`union`](Solutions::union) keeps over every other alternative,
//!   so that the general solve that met them refuses as a whole.
//!
//! # Principal and general solves
//!
//! A solve in the principal form ([`Form::Principal`](super::context::Form))
//! claims the roots on the principal branches of the inverse functions:
//! `sin x = 1/2` is `Complete(Points([π/6, 5π/6]))` there, the documented
//! meaning of `Ex::solve`.  A general solve claims every root;
//! [`RootSet::Families`] holds its points and its families (the roots that
//! contain the integer parameter `n`) in the order found.
//!
//! # Sets
//!
//! [`Solutions::into_set`] is SymPy's `solveset` convention: a complete
//! outcome is its set, a partial one the set united with the condition set
//! `{x : f(x) = 0}`, a refusal the condition set alone.
