//! Partial value construction for dynamic reflection
//!
//! This module provides APIs for incrementally building values through reflection,
//! particularly useful when deserializing data from external formats like JSON or YAML.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! The `Partial` type (formerly known as `Wip` - Work In Progress) allows you to:
//! - Allocate memory for a value based on its `Shape`
//! - Initialize fields incrementally in a type-safe manner
//! - Handle complex nested structures including structs, enums, collections, and smart pointers
//! - Build the final value once all required fields are initialized
//!
//! # API Changes
//!
//! Recent API improvements include:
//! - **Renamed from `Wip` to `Partial`** for better clarity about its purpose
//! - **Method naming changes**:
//!   - `push()` → `begin()` - Start working on a nested value
//!   - `pop()` → `end()` - Finish working on a nested value
//!   - camelCase methods → snake_case (Rust convention)
//! - **New convenience methods**:
//!   - `set_nth_field()` - Set a field by index
//!   - `set_field()` - Set a field by name
//!   - `set_variant()` - Set enum variant
//!   - `begin_nth_field()` - Begin working on a field by index
//!   - `begin_field()` - Begin working on a field by name
//!
//! # Basic Usage
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use facet_reflect::Partial;
//! # use facet_core::{Shape, Facet};
//! # fn example<T: Facet<'static>>() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! // Allocate memory for a struct
//! let mut partial = Partial::alloc::<T>()?;
//!
//! // Set simple fields
//! partial.set_field("name", "Alice")?;
//! partial.set_field("age", 30u32)?;
//!
//! // Work with nested structures
//! partial.begin_field("address")?;
//! partial.set_field("street", "123 Main St")?;
//! partial.set_field("city", "Springfield")?;
//! partial.end()?;
//!
//! // Build the final value
//! let value = partial.build()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Chaining Style
//!
//! The API supports method chaining for cleaner code:
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use facet_reflect::Partial;
//! # use facet_core::{Shape, Facet};
//! # fn example<T: Facet<'static>>() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let value = Partial::alloc::<T>()?
//!     .set_field("name", "Bob")?
//!     .begin_field("scores")?
//!         .set(vec![95, 87, 92])?
//!     .end()?
//!     .build()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Working with Collections
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use facet_reflect::Partial;
//! # use facet_core::{Shape, Facet};
//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let mut partial = Partial::alloc::<Vec<String>>()?;
//!
//! // Add items to a list
//! partial.begin_list_item()?;
//! partial.set("first")?;
//! partial.end()?;
//!
//! partial.begin_list_item()?;
//! partial.set("second")?;
//! partial.end()?;
//!
//! let vec = partial.build()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Working with Maps
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use facet_reflect::Partial;
//! # use facet_core::{Shape, Facet};
//! # use std::collections::HashMap;
//! # fn example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let mut partial = Partial::alloc::<HashMap<String, i32>>()?;
//!
//! // Insert key-value pairs
//! partial.begin_key()?;
//! partial.set("score")?;
//! partial.end()?;
//! partial.begin_value()?;
//! partial.set(100i32)?;
//! partial.end()?;
//!
//! let map = partial.build()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Safety and Memory Management
//!
//! The `Partial` type ensures memory safety by:
//! - Tracking initialization state of all fields
//! - Preventing use-after-build through state tracking
//! - Properly handling drop semantics for partially initialized values
//! - Supporting both owned and borrowed values through lifetime parameters
