//! Value type and conversion traits for schema types. For a deeper look at
//! portability goals, common formats, and schema design, refer to the
//! "Portability & Common Formats" chapter in the project book.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use triblespace_core::value::{Value, ValueSchema, ToValue, TryFromValue};
//! use triblespace_core::metadata::ConstId;
//! use triblespace_core::id::Id;
//! use triblespace_core::macros::id_hex;
//! use std::convert::{TryInto, Infallible};
//!
//! // Define a new schema type.
//! // We're going to define an unsigned integer type that is stored as a little-endian 32-byte array.
//! // Note that makes our example easier, as we don't have to worry about sign-extension or padding bytes.
//! pub struct MyNumber;
//!
//! // Implement the ValueSchema trait for the schema type.
//! impl ConstId for MyNumber {
//!    const ID: Id = id_hex!("345EAC0C5B5D7D034C87777280B88AE2");
//! }
//! impl ValueSchema for MyNumber {
//!    type ValidationError = ();
//!    // Every bit pattern is valid for this schema.
//! }
//!
//! // Implement conversion functions for the schema type.
//! // Use `Error = Infallible` when the conversion cannot fail.
//! impl TryFromValue<'_, MyNumber> for u32 {
//!    type Error = Infallible;
//!    fn try_from_value(v: &Value<MyNumber>) -> Result<Self, Infallible> {
//!      Ok(u32::from_le_bytes(v.raw[0..4].try_into().unwrap()))
//!    }
//! }
//!
//! impl ToValue<MyNumber> for u32 {
//!   fn to_value(self) -> Value<MyNumber> {
//!      // Convert the Rust type to the schema type, i.e. a 32-byte array.
//!      let mut bytes = [0; 32];
//!      bytes[0..4].copy_from_slice(&self.to_le_bytes());
//!      Value::new(bytes)
//!   }
//! }
//!
//! // Use the schema type to store and retrieve a Rust type.
//! let value: Value<MyNumber> = MyNumber::value_from(42u32);
//! let i: u32 = value.from_value();
//! assert_eq!(i, 42);
//!
//! // You can also implement conversion functions for other Rust types.
//! impl TryFromValue<'_, MyNumber> for u64 {
//!   type Error = Infallible;
//!   fn try_from_value(v: &Value<MyNumber>) -> Result<Self, Infallible> {

//!  fn to_value(self) -> Value<MyNumber> {
//!   let mut bytes = [0; 32];
//!   bytes[0..8].copy_from_slice(&self.to_le_bytes());
//!   Value::new(bytes)
//!   }
//! }
//!
//! let value: Value<MyNumber> = MyNumber::value_from(42u64);
//! let i: u64 = value.from_value();
//! assert_eq!(i, 42);
//!
//! // And use a value round-trip to convert between Rust types.
//! let value: Value<MyNumber> = MyNumber::value_from(42u32);
//! let i: u64 = value.from_value();
