Defines the core types and traits used throughout the facet ecosystem for runtime reflection:

  • Facet: exposes a SHAPE associated const
  • Shape: The central type that describes the memory layout and capabilities of a type
  • Various vtables that define how to manipulate types at runtime
  • The Def tree, which describes type definitions (structs, enums, etc.)

This crate is foundational to facet’s reflection capabilities, providing the type system that enables runtime type manipulation.
