//==============================================================================
// Arbitrary trait
//==============================================================================

/// Arbitrary determines a canonical [`Strategy`] for the implementing type.
///
/// It provides the method `arbitrary_with` which generates a `Strategy` for
/// producing arbitrary values of the implementing type *(`Self`)*. In general,
/// these strategies will produce the entire set of values possible for the
/// type, up to some size limitation or constraints set by their parameters.
/// When this is not desired, strategies to produce the desired values can be
/// built by combining [`Strategy`]s as described in the crate documentation.
///
/// This trait analogous to
/// [Haskell QuickCheck's implementation of `Arbitrary`][HaskellQC].
/// In this interpretation of `Arbitrary`, `Strategy` is the equivalent of
/// the `Gen` monad. Unlike in QuickCheck, `Arbitrary` is not a core component;
/// types do not need to implement `Arbitrary` unless one wants to use
/// [`any`](fn.any.html) or other free functions in this module.
///
/// `Arbitrary` currently only works for types which represent owned data as
/// opposed to borrowed data. This is a fundamental restriction of `proptest`
/// which may be lifted in the future as the [generic associated types (GAT)]
/// feature of Rust is implemented and stabilized.
///
