//! This crate provides a set of types which build on each other. The ultimate goal is to be able to define
//! the necessary type information needed to describe how historic Substrate types are SCALE encoded.
//!
//! The main types exposed here are as follows:
//!
//! - [`TypeRegistry`]: the lowest level type which one can populate with type information (via [`TypeRegistry::insert()`])
//! and then query to resolve some type name to the relevant information (via [`TypeRegistry::resolve_type()`]).
//! - [`TypeRegistrySet`]: a set of the above, which will resolve types (via [`TypeRegistrySet::resolve_type()`]) by working
//! through the inner type registries until it finds the relevant information (or doesn't find anything). This allows us
//! to combine type registries in different ways to alter how we resolve things.
//! - [`ChainTypeRegistry`]: this type is constructed by deserializing some JSON (or similar) which describes all of the
//! types that we need to know about on a given chain. The main function here is [`ChainTypeRegistry::for_spec_version()`],
//! which returns a [`TypeRegistrySet`] for resolving types for the given spec version.
//!
//! We also expose an [`InsertName`], which is built by parsing type names like `Vec<T>` from strings, and used in
//! [`TypeRegistry::insert()`] to insert types, and then [`LookupName`], which is built by parsing type names like
//! `Vec<T>`, `[u8; 32]` and `(bool, u32)` and is used to lookup the corresponding type information via [`TypeRegistry::resolve_type()`]
//! and similar. Finally, [`TypeShape`] is an enum used to describe the shape of the type inserted via [`TypeRegistry::insert()`].
//!
//! This crate, like `scale-info`, can be used in conjunction with crates like:
//!
//! - [`scale-decode`](https://github.com/paritytech/scale-decode) to decode SCALE encoded bytes
//! into custom types based on this type information.
//! - [`scale-encode`](https://github.com/paritytech/scale-encode) to SCALE encode custom types
//! into bytes based on this type information.
//! - [`scale-value`](https://github.com/paritytech/scale-value) to SCALE encode or decode from a
//! `Value` type (a bit like `serde_json`'s `Value` type).
