// Request and its methods
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

/// `Request` supports generic, type-driven access to data. Its use is currently restricted to the
/// standard library in cases where trait authors wish to allow trait implementors to share generic
/// information across trait boundaries. The motivating and prototypical use case is
/// `core::error::Error` which would otherwise require a method per concrete type (eg.
/// `std::backtrace::Backtrace` instance that implementors want to expose to users).
///
/// # Data flow
///
/// To describe the intended data flow for Request objects, let's consider two conceptual users
/// separated by API boundaries:
///
/// * Consumer - the consumer requests objects using a Request instance; eg a crate that offers
/// fancy `Error`/`Result` reporting to users wants to request a Backtrace from a given `dyn Error`.
///
/// * Producer - the producer provides objects when requested via Request; eg. a library with an
/// an `Error` implementation that automatically captures backtraces at the time instances are
/// created.
///
/// The consumer only needs to know where to submit their request and are expected to handle the
/// request not being fulfilled by the use of `Option<T>` in the responses offered by the producer.
///
/// * A Producer initializes the value of one of its fields of a specific type. (or is otherwise
/// prepared to generate a value requested). eg, `backtrace::Backtrace` or
/// `std::backtrace::Backtrace`
/// * A Consumer requests an object of a specific type (say `std::backtrace::Backtrace`). In the
/// case of a `dyn Error` trait object (the Producer), there are functions called `request_ref` and
/// `request_value` to simplify obtaining an `Option<T>` for a given type.
/// * The Producer, when requested, populates the given Request object which is given as a mutable
/// reference.
/// * The Consumer extracts a value or reference to the requested type from the `Request` object
/// wrapped in an `Option<T>`; in the case of `dyn Error` the aforementioned `request_ref` and `
/// request_value` methods mean that `dyn Error` users don't have to deal with the `Request` type at
/// all (but `Error` implementors do). The `None` case of the `Option` suggests only that the
/// Producer cannot currently offer an instance of the requested type, not it can't or never will.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// The best way to demonstrate this is using an example implementation of `Error`'s `provide` trait
/// method:
