//! This module contains the tools and functions to dealing with Mechanisms found within an Spf DNS record.  
//!
//! The Mechanism struct stores information about the `mechanism` or `modifier` found in the string representation
//! of the `Spf` record. It contains a number of methods for transversing and accessing this data.
//!
//! The module also contains a number of ways to create the `Mechanism` instances.
//! - [`ParsedMechanism`]
//!     - This provides a unified method for parsing any mechanism string. It will either contain a `Mechanism<String>`
//! or a `Mechanism<IpNetwork>` if the string is successfully parsed.
//! - Both `Mechanism<String>` and `Mechanism<IpNetwork>` have the `FromStr` trait implemented. Allowing for the strings
//! to be `parsed()`
//! - The `Mechanism` struct also has a number of specific methods which can be used to create related mechanisms; which are
//! used with the `FromStr` trait.
