/// A rate-limiting quota.
///
/// Quotas are expressed in a positive number of "cells" (the maximum number of positive decisions /
/// allowed items until the rate limiter needs to replenish) and the amount of time for the rate
/// limiter to replenish a single cell.
///
/// Neither the number of cells nor the replenishment unit of time may be zero.
///
/// # Burst sizes
/// There are multiple ways of expressing the same quota: a quota given as `Quota::per_second(1)`
/// allows, on average, the same number of cells through as a quota given as `Quota::per_minute(60)`.
/// However, the quota of `Quota::per_minute(60)` has a burst size of 60 cells, meaning it is
/// possible to accomodate 60 cells in one go, after which the equivalent of a minute of inactivity
/// is required for the burst allowance to be fully restored.
///
/// Burst size gets really important when you construct a rate limiter that should allow multiple
/// elements through at one time (using [`RateLimiter.check_n`](struct.RateLimiter.html#method.check_n)
/// and its related functions): Only
/// at most as many cells can be let through in one call as are given as the burst size.
///
/// In other words, the burst size is the maximum number of cells that the rate limiter will ever
/// allow through without replenishing them.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Construct a quota that allows 50 cells per second (replenishing at a rate of one cell
/// per 20 milliseconds), with a burst size of 50 cells, allowing a full rate limiter to allow 50
/// cells through at a time:
/// ```rust
/// # use governor::Quota;
/// # use nonzero_ext::nonzero;
/// # use std::time::Duration;
/// let q = Quota::per_second(nonzero!(50u32));
/// assert_eq!(q, Quota::per_second(nonzero!(50u32)).allow_burst(nonzero!(50u32)));
/// assert_eq!(q.replenish_interval(), Duration::from_millis(20));
/// assert_eq!(q.burst_size().get(), 50);
/// // The Quota::new constructor is deprecated, but this constructs the equivalent quota:
/// #[allow(deprecated)]
/// assert_eq!(q, Quota::new(nonzero!(50u32), Duration::from_secs(1)).unwrap());
/// ```
///
/// Construct a quota that allows 2 cells per hour through (replenishing at a rate of one cell
/// per 30min), but allows bursting up to 90 cells at once:
/// ```rust
/// # use governor::Quota;
/// # use nonzero_ext::nonzero;
/// # use std::time::Duration;
/// let q = Quota::per_hour(nonzero!(2u32)).allow_burst(nonzero!(90u32));
/// assert_eq!(q.replenish_interval(), Duration::from_secs(30 * 60));
/// assert_eq!(q.burst_size().get(), 90);
/// // The entire maximum burst size will be restored if no cells are let through for 45 hours:
/// assert_eq!(q.burst_size_replenished_in(), Duration::from_secs(60 * 60 * (90 / 2)));
/// ```
