//! A generic mechanism for representing people and associated data.
//!
//! We have a set of people indexed by [`PersonId`] and then each person
//! can have an arbitrary number of person properties
//! [`PersonProperty`], which are values keyed by a type. Person
//! properties are defined with a macro ([`define_person_property!()`]
//! or [`define_person_property_with_default!()`])
//!
//! # Initializing Person Properties
//!
//! Person properties can have their initial values set in several ways:
//!
//! * An initial value can be provided at person creation time in
//!   [`Context::add_person()`].
//! * The property can have a default value (provided when the
//!   property is defined.)
//! * The property can have an initializer function (provided when
//!   the property is defined) that is called lazily when the
//!   property is first accessed.
//!
//! If neither a default or an initializer is provided, then you
//! must provide an initial value for each person on person
//! creation. Failure to do so will generally cause failure of
//! [`Context::add_person()`].
//!
//! # Setting Person Properties
//!
//! Properties can also have their values changed with [`Context::set_person_property()`].
//! If the property is not initialized yet, this will implicitly call the
//! initializer (or set the default) and then reset the value.
//!
//! # Derived Properties
//!
//! It is also possible to have a "derived property" whose value is
//! computed based on a set of other properties. When a derived
//! property is defined, you must supply a function that takes the
//! values for those dependencies and computes the current value
//! of the property. Note that this function cannot access the context
//! directly and therefore cannot read any other properties. It also
//! should have a consistent result for any set of inputs, because
//! it may be called multiple times with those inputs, depending
//! on the program structure.
//!
//! # Change Events
//!
//! Whenever a person property `E` has potentially changed, either
//! because it was set directly or because it is a derived property
//! and one of its dependencies changed, a
//! [`PersonPropertyChangeEvent<E>`] will be emitted. Note that Ixa does
//! not currently check that the new value is actually different from the old value,
//! so calling [`Context::set_person_property()`] will always emit an event.
//! Initialization is not considered a change, but [`Context::set_person_property()`]
//! on a lazily initialized event will emit an event for the change from
//! the initialized value to the new value.
//!
//! # Querying
//!
//! Person properties provides an interface to query for people matching
//! a given set of properties. The basic syntax is to supply a set of
//! (property, value) pairs, like so `query_people(((Age, 30), (Gender, Female)))`.
//! Note that these need to be wrapped in an extra set of parentheses
//! to make them a single tuple to pass to [`Context::query_people()`]. Queries implement
//! strict equality, so if you want a fancier predicate you need to implement
//! a derived property that computes it and then query over the derived property.
//!
//! The internals of query are deliberately opaque in that Ixa may or
//! may not ordinarily choose to create caches or indexes for
//! queries. However, you force an index to be created for a single
//! property by using [`Context::index_property()`].
