8/// A trait for giving a type a useful default value.
9///
10/// Sometimes, you want to fall back to some kind of default value, and
11/// don't particularly care what it is. This comes up often with `struct`s
12/// that define a set of options:
13///
14/// ```
15/// # #[allow(dead_code)]
16/// struct SomeOptions {
17///     foo: i32,
18///     bar: f32,
19/// }
20/// ```
21///
22/// How can we define some default values? You can use `Default`:
23///
24/// ```
25/// # #[allow(dead_code)]
26/// #[derive(Default)]
27/// struct SomeOptions {
28///     foo: i32,
29///     bar: f32,
30/// }
31///
32/// fn main() {
33///     let options: SomeOptions = Default::default();
34/// }
35/// ```
36///
37/// Now, you get all of the default values. Rust implements `Default` for various primitive types.
38///
39/// If you want to override a particular option, but still retain the other defaults:
40///
41/// ```
42/// # #[allow(dead_code)]
43/// # #[derive(Default)]
44/// # struct SomeOptions {
45/// #     foo: i32,
46/// #     bar: f32,
47/// # }
48/// fn main() {
49///     let options = SomeOptions { foo: 42, ..Default::default() };
50/// }
51/// ```
52///
53/// ## Derivable
54///
55/// This trait can be used with `#[derive]` if all of the type's fields implement
56/// `Default`. When `derive`d, it will use the default value for each field's type.
57///
58/// ### `enum`s
59///
60/// When using `#[derive(Default)]` on an `enum`, you need to choose which unit variant will be
61/// default. You do this by placing the `#[default]` attribute on the variant.
62///
63/// ```
64/// #[derive(Default)]
65/// enum Kind {
66///     #[default]
67///     A,
68///     B,
69///     C,
70/// }
71/// ```
72///
73/// You cannot use the `#[default]` attribute on non-unit or non-exhaustive variants.
74///
75/// The `#[default]` attribute was stabilized in Rust 1.62.0.
76///
77/// ## How can I implement `Default`?
78///
79/// Provide an implementation for the `default()` method that returns the value of
80/// your type that should be the default:
81///
82/// ```
83/// # #![allow(dead_code)]
84/// enum Kind {
85///     A,
86///     B,
87///     C,
88/// }
89///
90/// impl Default for Kind {
91///     fn default() -> Self { Kind::A }
92/// }
93/// ```
94///
95/// # Examples
96///
97/// ```
98/// # #[allow(dead_code)]
99/// #[derive(Default)]
100/// struct SomeOptions {
101///     foo: i32,
102///     bar: f32,
103/// }
104/// ```
