/// A type that can be converted to and from an associated raw value.
///
/// With a `RawRepresentable` type, you can switch back and forth between a
/// custom type and an associated `RawValue` type without losing the value of
/// the original `RawRepresentable` type. Using the raw value of a conforming
/// type streamlines interoperation with Objective-C and legacy APIs and
/// simplifies conformance to other protocols, such as `Equatable`,
/// `Comparable`, and `Hashable`.
///
/// The `RawRepresentable` protocol is seen mainly in two categories of types:
/// enumerations with raw value types and option sets.
///
/// Enumerations with Raw Values
/// ============================
///
/// For any enumeration with a string, integer, or floating-point raw type, the
/// Swift compiler automatically adds `RawRepresentable` conformance. When
/// defining your own custom enumeration, you give it a raw type by specifying
/// the raw type as the first item in the enumeration's type inheritance list.
/// You can also use literals to specify values for one or more cases.
///
/// For example, the `Counter` enumeration defined here has an `Int` raw value
/// type and gives the first case a raw value of `1`:
///
/// enum Counter: Int {
/// case one = 1, two, three, four, five
/// }
///
/// You can create a `Counter` instance from an integer value between 1 and 5
/// by using the `init?(rawValue:)` initializer declared in the
/// `RawRepresentable` protocol. This initializer is failable because although
/// every case of the `Counter` type has a corresponding `Int` value, there
/// are many `Int` values that *don't* correspond to a case of `Counter`.
///
/// for i in 3...6 {
/// print(Counter(rawValue: i))
/// }
/// // Prints "Optional(Counter.three)"
/// // Prints "Optional(Counter.four)"
/// // Prints "Optional(Counter.five)"
/// // Prints "nil"
///
/// Option Sets
/// ===========
///
/// Option sets all conform to `RawRepresentable` by inheritance using the
/// `OptionSet` protocol. Whether using an option set or creating your own,
/// you use the raw value of an option set instance to store the instance's
/// bitfield. The raw value must therefore be of a type that conforms to the
/// `FixedWidthInteger` protocol, such as `UInt8` or `Int`. For example, the
/// `Direction` type defines an option set for the four directions you can
/// move in a game.
///
/// struct Directions: OptionSet {
/// let rawValue: UInt8
///
/// static let up = Directions(rawValue: 1 << 0)
/// static let down = Directions(rawValue: 1 << 1)
/// static let left = Directions(rawValue: 1 << 2)
/// static let right = Directions(rawValue: 1 << 3)
/// }
///
/// Unlike enumerations, option sets provide a nonfailable `init(rawValue:)`
/// initializer to convert from a raw value, because option sets don't have an
/// enumerated list of all possible cases. Option set values have
/// a one-to-one correspondence with their associated raw values.
///
/// In the case of the `Directions` option set, an instance can contain zero,
/// one, or more of the four defined directions. This example declares a
/// constant with three currently allowed moves. The raw value of the
/// `allowedMoves` instance is the result of the bitwise OR of its three
/// members' raw values:
///
/// let allowedMoves: Directions = [.up, .down, .left]
/// print(allowedMoves.rawValue)
/// // Prints "7"
///
/// Option sets use bitwise operations on their associated raw values to
/// implement their mathematical set operations. For example, the `contains()`
/// method on `allowedMoves` performs a bitwise AND operation to check whether
/// the option set contains an element.
///
/// print(allowedMoves.contains(.right))
/// // Prints "false"
/// print(allowedMoves.rawValue & Directions.right.rawValue)
/// // Prints "0"
public protocol RawRepresentable {
/// The raw type that can be used to represent all values of the conforming
/// type.

/// value of the `RawValue` type, but there may be values of the `RawValue`
/// type that don't have a corresponding value of the conforming type.
associatedtype RawValue
/// Creates a new instance with the specified raw value.
///
/// If there is no value of the type that corresponds with the specified raw

/// }
///
/// print(PaperSize(rawValue: "Legal"))
/// // Prints "Optional("PaperSize.Legal")"

/// }

/// duplicate value ("Dave") and doesn't maintain the order of the array
/// literal's elements. The new array, on the other hand, matches the order
/// and number of elements provided.
///
/// - Note: An array literal is not the same as an `Array` instance. You can't
/// initialize a type that conforms to `ExpressibleByArrayLiteral` simply by
/// assigning an existing array.
///
/// let anotherSet: Set = employeesArray
/// // error: cannot convert value of type '[String]' to specified type 'Set'
///
/// Type Inference of Array Literals
/// ================================
///
/// Whenever possible, Swift's compiler infers the full intended type of your
/// array literal. Because `Array` is the default type for an array literal,
/// without writing any other code, you can declare an array with a particular
/// element type by providing one or more values.
///
/// In this example, the compiler infers the full type of each array literal.
///
/// let integers = [1, 2, 3]
/// // 'integers' has type '[Int]'
///
/// let strings = ["a", "b", "c"]
/// // 'strings' has type '[String]'
///
/// An empty array literal alone doesn't provide enough information for the
/// compiler to infer the intended type of the `Array` instance. When using an
/// empty array literal, specify the type of the variable or constant.
///
/// var emptyArray: [Bool] = []
/// // 'emptyArray' has type '[Bool]'
///
/// Because many functions and initializers fully specify the types of their
/// parameters, you can often use an array literal with or without elements as
/// a parameter. For example, the `sum(_:)` function shown here takes an `Int`
/// array as a parameter:
///
/// func sum(values: [Int]) -> Int {
/// return values.reduce(0, +)
/// }
///
/// let sumOfFour = sum([5, 10, 15, 20])
/// // 'sumOfFour' == 50
///
/// let sumOfNone = sum([])
/// // 'sumOfNone' == 0
///
/// When you call a function that does not fully specify its parameters' types,
/// use the type-cast operator (`as`) to specify the type of an array literal.
/// For example, the `log(name:value:)` function shown here has an
/// unconstrained generic `value` parameter.
///
/// func log<T>(name name: String, value: T) {
/// print("\(name): \(value)")
/// }
///
/// log(name: "Four integers", value: [5, 10, 15, 20])
/// // Prints "Four integers: [5, 10, 15, 20]"

/// Represents the contents of a string literal with interpolations while it's

///
/// Each `ExpressibleByStringInterpolation` type has an associated
/// `StringInterpolation` type which conforms to `StringInterpolationProtocol`.
/// Swift converts an expression like `"The time is \(time)." as MyString` into
/// a series of statements similar to:
///
/// var interpolation = MyString.StringInterpolation(literalCapacity: 13,
/// interpolationCount: 1)
///
/// interpolation.appendLiteral("The time is ")
/// interpolation.appendInterpolation(time)
/// interpolation.appendLiteral(".")
///
/// MyString(stringInterpolation: interpolation)
///
/// The `StringInterpolation` type is responsible for collecting the segments
/// passed to its `appendLiteral(_:)` and `appendInterpolation` methods and
/// assembling them into a whole, converting as necessary. Once all of the
/// segments are appended, the interpolation is passed to an
/// `init(stringInterpolation:)` initializer on the type being created, which
/// must extract the accumulated data from the `StringInterpolation`.
///
/// In simple cases, you can use `DefaultStringInterpolation` as the
/// interpolation type for types that conform to the
/// `ExpressibleByStringLiteral` protocol. To use the default interpolation,
/// conform a type to `ExpressibleByStringInterpolation` and implement
/// `init(stringLiteral: String)`. Values in interpolations are converted to
/// strings, and then passed to that initializer just like any other string
/// literal.
///
/// Handling String Interpolations
/// ==============================
///
/// With a custom interpolation type, each interpolated segment is translated
/// into a call to a special `appendInterpolation` method. The contents of
/// the interpolation's parentheses are treated as the call's argument list.
/// That argument list can include multiple arguments and argument labels.
///
/// The following examples show how string interpolations are translated into
/// calls to `appendInterpolation`:
///
/// - `\(x)` translates to `appendInterpolation(x)`
/// - `\(x, y)` translates to `appendInterpolation(x, y)`
/// - `\(foo: x)` translates to `appendInterpolation(foo: x)`
/// - `\(x, foo: y)` translates to `appendInterpolation(x, foo: y)`
///
/// The `appendInterpolation` methods in your custom type must be mutating
/// instance methods that return `Void`. This code shows a custom interpolation
/// type's declaration of an `appendInterpolation` method that provides special
/// validation for user input:
///
/// extension MyString.StringInterpolation {
/// mutating func appendInterpolation(validating input: String) {
/// // Perform validation of `input` and store for later use
/// }
/// }
///
/// To use this interpolation method, create a string literal with an
/// interpolation using the `validating` parameter label.
///
/// let userInput = readLine() ?? ""
/// let myString = "The user typed '\(validating: userInput)'." as MyString
///
/// `appendInterpolation` methods support virtually all features of methods:
/// they can have any number of parameters, can specify labels for any or all
/// of their parameters, can provide default values, can have variadic
/// parameters, and can have parameters with generic types. Most importantly,
/// they can be overloaded, so a type that conforms to
/// `StringInterpolationProtocol` can provide several different
/// `appendInterpolation` methods with different behaviors. An
/// `appendInterpolation` method can also throw; when a user writes a literal
/// with one of these interpolations, they must mark the string literal with
/// `try` or one of its variants.
