//! Contains the [`Provider`] trait and accompanying API, which enable trait objects to provide data
//! based on typed requests, an alternate form of runtime reflection.
//!
//! # `Provider` and `Demand`
//!
//! `Provider` and the associated APIs support generic, type-driven access to data, and a mechanism
//! for implementers to provide such data. The key parts of the interface are the `Provider`
//! trait for objects which can provide data, and the [`request_value`] and [`request_ref`]
//! functions for requesting data from an object which implements `Provider`. Generally, end users
//! should not call `request_*` directly, they are helper functions for intermediate implementers
//! to use to implement a user-facing interface.
//!
//! Typically, a data provider is a trait object of a trait which extends `Provider`. A user will
//! request data from a trait object by specifying the type of the data.
//!
//! ## Data flow
//!
//! * A user requests an object of a specific type, which is delegated to `request_value` or
//!   `request_ref`
//! * `request_*` creates a `Demand` object and passes it to `Provider::provide`
//! * The data provider's implementation of `Provider::provide` tries providing values of different
//!   types using `Demand::provide_*`. If the type matches the type requested by the user, the value
//!   will be stored in the `Demand` object.
//! * `request_*` unpacks the `Demand` object and returns any stored value to the user.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ```
//! # #![allow(dead_code)]
//! use error_stack::provider::{request_ref, Demand, Provider};
//!
//! // Definition of MyTrait, a data provider.
//! trait MyTrait: Provider {
//!     // ...
//! }
//!
//! // Methods on `MyTrait` trait objects.
//! impl dyn MyTrait + '_ {
//!     /// Get a reference to a field of the implementing struct.
//!     pub fn get_context_by_ref<T: ?Sized + 'static>(&self) -> Option<&T> {
//!         request_ref::<T, _>(self)
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Downstream implementation of `MyTrait` and `Provider`.
//! # struct SomeConcreteType { some_string: String }
//! impl MyTrait for SomeConcreteType {
//!     // ...
//! }
//!
//! impl Provider for SomeConcreteType {
//!     fn provide<'a>(&'a self, demand: &mut Demand<'a>) {
//!         // Provide a string reference. We could provide multiple values with
//!         // different types here.
//!         demand.provide_ref::<String>(&self.some_string);
//!     }
//! }
//!
//! // Downstream usage of `MyTrait`.
//! fn use_my_trait(obj: &dyn MyTrait) {
//!     // Request a &String from obj.
//!     let _ = obj.get_context_by_ref::<String>().unwrap();
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! In this example, if the concrete type of `obj` in `use_my_trait` is `SomeConcreteType`, then
//! the `get_context_ref` call will return a reference to `obj.some_string` with type `&String`.
