//! An implicit environment which is indexed by type.
//!
//! # Offering values to the local environment
//!
//! Add types to the local environment by creating and `enter`ing a [`Layer`],
//! and retrieve them using [`get`] or [`expect`]:
//!
//! ```
//! #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq)]
//! enum Theme {
//! Light,
//! Dark,
//! }
//!
//! // no theme has been set yet
//! assert!(illicit::get::<Theme>().is_err());
//!
//! illicit::Layer::new().offer(Theme::Light).enter(|| {
//! assert_eq!(*illicit::expect::<Theme>(), Theme::Light,);
//! });
//!
//! // previous theme "expired"
//! assert!(illicit::get::<Theme>().is_err());
//! ```
//!
//! # Receiving arguments "by environment"
//!
//! Annotate functions which require access to types in the environment with
//! [`from_env`]:
//!
//! ```
//! # #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq)]
//! # enum Theme {
//! # Light,
//! # Dark,
//! # }
//! #
//! impl Theme {
//! /// Calls `child` with this theme set as current.

//!
//! // but it only lasts as long as the inner `enter` call
//! assert_eq!(Theme::current(), Theme::Light);
//! });
//! ```
//!
//! ## Caution
//!
//! This provides convenient sugar for values stored in the current environment
//! as an alternative to thread-locals or a manually propagated context object.
//! However this approach incurs a significant cost in that the following code
//! will panic:
//!
//! ```should_panic
//! # #[derive(Copy, Clone, Debug, PartialEq)]
//! # enum Theme {
//! # Light,
//! # Dark,
//! # }
//! #
//! # impl Theme {
//! # #[illicit::from_env(current_theme: &Theme)]
//! # fn current() -> Self {
//! # *current_theme
//! # }
//! # }
//! println!("{:?}", Theme::current());
//! ```
//!
//! See the attribute's documentation for more details, and please consider
//! whether this is appropriate for your use case before taking it on as a
//! dependency.
//!
//! # Debugging
//!
//! Use [`Snapshot::get`] to retrieve a copy of the current local environment.
//!
//! # Comparisons
//!
//! ## execution-context
//!
//! `illicit` provides capabilities very similar in ways to
//! [execution-context]. Both crates allow one to propagate implicit values to
//! "downstream" code, and they both allow that downstream code to provide its
//! own additional values to the context. Both crates prevent mutation of
//! contained types without interior mutability.
//!
//! One notable difference is how they handle multi-threading.
//! `execution-context` requires types contained in a "flow-local" to implement
//! `Send` so that contexts can be sent between threads. In contrast, while
//! `illicit` supports the reuse of contexts, it prioritizes the single-threaded
//! use case and does not require `Send`.
//!
//! The other noteworthy difference is in how they're "addressed":
//! `execution-context` defines static variables that are referenced by
//! name/symbol, whereas `illicit` allows the definition of a single local value
//! per type and does not rely on naming. This offers some nice properties but
//! it also sacrifices the static guarantee that there will always be a default
//! value.
//!
//! ## `thread_local!`
//!
//! This crate is implemented on top of a thread-local variable which stores the
//! context, and can be seen as utilities for dynamically creating and
//! destroying thread-locals for arbitrary types. The other key difference is
//! that the ability to temporarily override a thread-local is built-in.
//!
//! The main cost over writing one's own thread-local is that this does incur
//! the additional overhead of a `HashMap` access, some `TypeId` comparison, and
//! some pointer dereferences.
//!
