`#[derive(Plural)]` for creating frictionless new types with any collection
type.
## Features
- Automatically implements `From`, `Into`, `FromIterator`, `IntoIterator`, and
methods like `.len()` or `::with_capacity`.
- Supports any collection that behaves like `Vec` and `HashMap`.
## Example
```rust
// This implements `From`, `Into`, `FromIterator`, `IntoIterator`.
#[derive(Plural)]
struct Numbers(Vec<u32>);
// use `From` trait
let my_favorite_numbers: Numbers = vec![].into();
// methods like `len()` are implemented
assert_eq!(my_favorite_numbers.len(), 0);
assert!(my_favorite_numbers.is_empty());
// `FromIterator` allows this `collect()`
let doubled_numbers: Numbers = my_favorite_numbers.iter().map(|x| x * 2).collect();
// `HashMap` like collections are also supported
#[derive(Plural)]
struct FavoriteNumbers(HashMap<&'static str, Numbers>);
// construct the struct with using `FromIterator`
let favorite_numbers =
FavoriteNumbers::from_iter([("ryo33", my_favorite_numbers), ("someone", doubled_numbers)]);
// use it in a `for` loop (`IntoIterator` trait)
for (name, numbers) in favorite_numbers {
// use Deref trait
println!("{} has {} favorite number(s)", name, numbers.0.len());
}
```
