My Case:
When I was working on creating a scanner for log structured merge tree, I have to implement a Scanner trait that supports scanning keys inside a key range.
It features:
Therefore, I have to write a type like:
Changed Behaviour:
In current implementation the macro panics without giving any reason, as suggested in #47 .
The tweaked implementation supports constant parameters.
Soundness:
Since the added constants don't carry additional data from runtime, it doesn't effect validity.
Since the number of added constants are finite, an exhausting the finite space proofs type safety, as long as the compiler doesn't raise any errors.
