gollark: Look at this wonderful, readable Rust code.
gollark: ```rustmacro_rules! method { ($name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; ($name:ident<$a:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... }; (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };}```
