/// Definition of a CRDT - all CRDT Rust types implement this.
///
/// A CRDT is defined as a merge operator that respects a certain set of axioms.
///
/// In particular, the merge operator must be commutative, associative,
/// idempotent, and monotonic.
/// In other words, if `a`, `b` and `c` are CRDTs, and `⊔` denotes the merge operator,
/// the following axioms must apply:
///
/// ```text
/// a ⊔ b = b ⊔ a                   (commutativity)
/// (a ⊔ b) ⊔ c = a ⊔ (b ⊔ c)       (associativity)
/// (a ⊔ b) ⊔ b = a ⊔ b             (idempotence)
/// ```
///
/// Moreover, the relationship `≥` defined by `a ≥ b ⇔ ∃c. a = b ⊔ c` must be a partial order.
/// This implies a few properties such as: if `a ⊔ b ≠ a`, then there is no `c` such that `(a ⊔ b) ⊔ c = a`,
/// as this would imply a cycle in the partial order.
