We usually wait for the standard library to stabilize APIs so we can match them as much as possible, but the future of raw entries in rust-lang/rust#56167 is uncertain. For folks who really want it now, this PR offers an opt-in trait
RawEntryApiV1
without polluting our inherent method namespace.The V1 suffix is basically representing a snapshot of what
std
currently has, as of Rust 1.75. If they later change in compatible ways, we can extend ours to keep up, or else we can consider a V2. Ifstd
finally stabilizes a raw entry API, we will match that in our inherent methods, without an intermediate trait. We won't be able to remove the old traits without a semver breaking change, but they can at least be#[deprecated]
.Resolves #166.
