 //! This crate implements two basic variants, the `EmptyContext`, that returns `None` for each identifier and cannot be manipulated, and the `HashMapContext`, that stores its mappings in hash maps.
 //! The HashMapContext is type-safe and returns an error if the user tries to assign a value of a different type than before to an identifier.
