1//! Traits used to represent [lattices] for use as the domain of a dataflow analysis.
2//!
3//! # Overview
4//!
5//! The most common lattice is a powerset of some set `S`, ordered by [set inclusion]. The [Hasse
6//! diagram] for the powerset of a set with two elements (`X` and `Y`) is shown below. Note that
7//! distinct elements at the same height in a Hasse diagram (e.g. `{X}` and `{Y}`) are
8//! *incomparable*, not equal.
9//!
10//! ```text
11//!      {X, Y}    <- top
12//!       /  \
13//!    {X}    {Y}
14//!       \  /
15//!        {}      <- bottom
16//!
17//! ```
18//!
19//! The defining characteristic of a lattice—the one that differentiates it from a [partially
20//! ordered set][poset]—is the existence of a *unique* least upper and greatest lower bound for
21//! every pair of elements. The lattice join operator (`∨`) returns the least upper bound, and the
22//! lattice meet operator (`∧`) returns the greatest lower bound. Types that implement one operator
23//! but not the other are known as semilattices. Dataflow analysis only uses the join operator and
24//! will work with any join-semilattice, but both should be specified when possible.
25//!
26//! ## `PartialOrd`
27//!
28//! Given that it represents a partially ordered set, you may be surprised that [`JoinSemiLattice`]
29//! does not have [`PartialOrd`] as a supertrait. This
30//! is because most standard library types use lexicographic ordering instead of set inclusion for
31//! their `PartialOrd` impl. Since we do not actually need to compare lattice elements to run a
32//! dataflow analysis, there's no need for a newtype wrapper with a custom `PartialOrd` impl. The
33//! only benefit would be the ability to check that the least upper (or greatest lower) bound
34//! returned by the lattice join (or meet) operator was in fact greater (or lower) than the inputs.
