//! Version 0 (unstable).
//!
//! **Warning**: This module is still under development and is expected to change.
//! It is included in the library to allow for early experimentation, and for
//! the core and model to converge incrementally.
//!
//! # Terms
//!
//! Terms form a meta language that is used to describe types, parameters and metadata that
//! are known statically. To allow types to be parameterized by values, types and values
//! are treated uniformly as terms, enabling a restricted form of dependent typing.
//! The type system is extensible and can be used to declaratively encode the desired shape
//! of operation parameters and metadata. Type constraints can be used to express more complex
//! validation rules.
//!
//! # Tabling
//!
//! Instead of directly nesting structures, we store them in tables and refer to them
//! by their index in the table. This allows us to attach additional data to the structures
//! without changing the data structure itself. This can be used, for example, to keep track
//! of metadata that has been parsed from its generic representation as a term into a more
//! specific in-memory representation.
//!
//! The tabling is also used for deduplication of terms. In practice, many terms will share
//! the same subterms, and we can save memory and validation time by storing them only once.
//! However we allow non-deduplicated terms for cases in which terms carry additional identity
//! over just their structure. For instance, structurally identical terms could originate
//! from different locations in a text file and therefore should be treated differently when
//! locating type errors.
//!
//! # Plain Data
//!
//! All types in the hugr model are plain data. This means that they can be serialized and
//! deserialized without loss of information. This is important for the model to be able to
//! serve as a stable interchange format between different tools and versions of the library.
//!
//! # Arena Allocation
//!
//! Since we intend to use the model data structures as an intermediary to convert between
//! different representations (such as text, binary or in-memory), we use arena allocation
//! to efficiently allocate and free the parts of the data structure that isn't directly stored
//! in the tables. For that purpose, we use the `'a` lifetime parameter to indicate the
//! lifetime of the arena.
//!
//! # Remaining Mismatch with `hugr-core`
//!
//! This data model was designed to encode as much of `hugr-core` as possible while also
//! filling in conceptual gaps and providing a forward-compatible foundation for future
//! development. However, there are still some mismatches with `hugr-core` that are not
//! addressed by conversions in import/export:
//!
//! - Some static types can not yet be represented in `hugr-core` although they should be.
//! - `hugr-model` does not have constants for runtime types as `hugr-core` does ([#1425]).
//!   The rationale for this is that runtime values can not be represented except at runtime
//!   (they might e.g. be qubits or part of some extension in which values lack any semantics
//!   in forms of sets altogether). We might resolve this by introducing ways to use static
//!   values as "blueprints" for runtime values.
//! - The model does not have types with a copy bound as `hugr-core` does, and instead uses
//!   a more general form of type constraints ([#1556]). Similarly, the model does not have
//!   bounded naturals. In both cases, we import these types with the most permissive bound
//!   for now.
//! - The model allows nodes to have multiple child regions, including for custom operations.
//!   `hugr-core` does not support multiple regions, or any nesting for custom operations ([#1546]).
//! - `hugr-core` has rows with multiple row variables, which can be in arbitrary positions
//!   in the row. `hugr-core` rows correspond to lists in the model, and only support a single
//!   variable at the end. The same applies to extension sets ([#1556]).
//! - In a model module, ports are connected when they share the same link. This differs from
//!   the type of port connectivity in the graph data structure used by `hugr-core`. However,
//!   `hugr-core` restricts connectivity so that in any group of connected ports there is at
//!   most one output port (for dataflow) or at most one input port (for control flow). In
//!   these cases, there is no mismatch.
//! - `hugr-core` has no support for constraints and does not make a distinction between
//!   explicit and implicit parameters.
//! - `hugr-core` only allows to define type aliases, but not aliases for other terms.
//! - The model does not have a concept of "order edges". These ordering hints can be useful,
//!   but expressing them via the same mechanism as data and control flow might not be the
//!   correct approach.
//! - Both `hugr-model` and `hugr-core` support metadata, but they use different encodings.
//!   `hugr-core` encodes metadata as JSON objects, while `hugr-model` uses terms. Using
//!   terms has the advantage that metadata can be validated with the same type checking
//!   mechanism as the rest of the model ([#1553]).
//! - `hugr-model` have a root region that corresponds to a root `Module` in `hugr-core`.
//!   `hugr-core` however can have nodes with different operations as their root ([#1554]).
