//! Transformations for relation expressions.
//!
//! This crate contains traits, types, and methods suitable for transforming
//! `MirRelationExpr` types in ways that preserve semantics and improve performance.
//! The core trait is `Transform`, and many implementors of this trait can be
//! boxed and iterated over. Some common transformation patterns are wrapped
//! as `Transform` implementors themselves.
//!
//! The crate also contains the beginnings of whole-dataflow optimization,
//! which uses the same analyses but spanning multiple dataflow elements.
