/// Type that uses a special value to be used as none.

/// See [`Optional`] documentation for the rationale for this trait's existence.
///
/// # Caveats
///
/// Since use of default values as none is typical, this trait is implemented for all types that
/// implement [`Default`] for convenience. Unfortunately, this means you can not implement this
/// trait manually for types that implement [`Default`].
///
/// Moreoever, since `bool` implements [`Default`], `NoneValue` gets implemented for `bool` as well.
/// However, this is unsound since its not possible to distinguish between `false` and `None` in
/// this case. This is why you'll get a panic on trying to serialize or deserialize an
/// `Optionanl<bool>`.

}

/// An optional value.
///
/// Since D-Bus doesn't have the concept of nullability, it uses a special value (typically the
/// default value) as the null value. For example [this signal][ts] uses empty strings for null
/// values. Serde has built-in support for `Option` but unfortunately that doesn't work for us.
/// Hence the need for this type.
///
/// The serialization and deserialization of `Optional` relies on [`NoneValue`] implementation of
/// the underlying type.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use zvariant::{serialized::Context, Optional, to_bytes, LE};
///
/// // `Null` case.
/// let ctxt = Context::new_dbus(LE, 0);
/// let s = Optional::<&str>::default();
/// let encoded = to_bytes(ctxt, &s).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(encoded.bytes(), &[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]);
/// let s: Optional<&str> = encoded.deserialize().unwrap().0;
/// assert_eq!(*s, None);
///
/// // `Some` case.
/// let s = Optional::from(Some("hello"));
/// let encoded = to_bytes(ctxt, &s).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(encoded.len(), 10);
/// // The first byte is the length of the string in Little-Endian format.
/// assert_eq!(encoded[0], 5);
/// let s: Optional<&str> = encoded.deserialize().unwrap().0;
/// assert_eq!(*s, Some("hello"));
/// ```
