Enum ReferenceForm 

pub enum ReferenceForm {
    Full,
    ShortName,
    Pronoun,
    Demonstrative,
    Possessive,
    Zero,
}

How an entity should be referred to based on discourse context.

Variants

Full

Full form: “The class UserService”

ShortName

Name only: “UserService”

Pronoun

Pronoun: “it” / “they” / (lang-specific)

Demonstrative

Demonstrative determiner + type: “this class” / (lang-specific). Reserved slot for future discourse rules; not currently emitted by DiscourseState::reference_form.

Possessive

Possessive pronoun/determiner: “its” / “their” / (lang-specific). Used by the {name|possessive} pipe after the standard discourse policy has decided that a pronoun-form reference is appropriate.

Zero

Zero realization: surface is empty. Used by pro-drop languages (Japanese, colloquial Spanish/Italian) where the pronoun is recoverable from context and the slot emits nothing. Not currently emitted by the default DiscourseState::reference_form; language-specific discourse extensions may choose this form.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
