For example `Result`, `Formatter`, `Debug` etc. That way I can still use the same pattern of importing `fmt` and then writing impl fmt::Display for MyType { fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {} } > + > +/// Internal adapter used to route allow implementations of formatting traits for foreign types. > +/// > +/// It is inserted automatically by the [`fmt!`] macro and is not meant to be used directly. > +/// > +/// [`fmt!`]: crate::prelude::fmt! > +#[doc(hidden)] > +pub struct Adapter<T>(pub T); > + > +macro_rules! impl_fmt_adapter_forward { > + ($($trait:ident),* $(,)?) => { > + $( > + impl<T: fmt::$trait> fmt::$trait for Adapter<T> { > + fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result { > + let Self(t) = self; > + fmt::$trait::fmt(t, f) > + } > + } > + )* > + }; > +} > + > +impl_fmt_adapter_forward!(Debug, LowerHex, UpperHex, Octal, Binary, Pointer, LowerExp, UpperExp); > + > +/// A copy of [`fmt::Display`] that allows us to implement it for foreign types. > +/// > +/// Types should implement this trait rather than [`fmt::Display`].
