1//! The trait [`IntoEither`] provides methods for converting a type `Self`, whose
2//! size is constant and known at compile-time, into an [`Either`] variant.

6/// Provides methods for converting a type `Self` into either a [`Left`] or [`Right`]
7/// variant of [`Either<Self, Self>`](Either).
8///
9/// The [`into_either`](IntoEither::into_either) method takes a [`bool`] to determine
10/// whether to convert to [`Left`] or [`Right`].
11///
12/// The [`into_either_with`](IntoEither::into_either_with) method takes a
13/// [predicate function](FnOnce) to determine whether to convert to [`Left`] or [`Right`].
