29/// The encoding [`VTable`] encapsulates logic for an Encoding type and associated Array type.
30/// The logic is split across several "VTable" traits to enable easier code organization than
31/// simply lumping everything into a single trait.
32///
33/// Some of these vtables are optional, such as the [`SerdeVTable`], which is only required if
34/// the encoding supports serialization.
35///
36/// From this [`VTable`] trait, we derive implementations for the sealed [`Array`] and [`Encoding`]
37/// traits via the [`crate::ArrayAdapter`] and [`crate::EncodingAdapter`] types respectively.
38///
39/// The functions defined in these vtable traits will typically document their pre- and
40/// post-conditions. The pre-conditions are validated inside the [`Array`] and [`Encoding`]
41/// implementations so do not need to be checked in the vtable implementations (for example, index
42/// out of bounds). Post-conditions are validated after invocation of the vtable function and will
43/// panic if violated.
