A Rust library for parsing and generating PlainTalk

PlainTalk

This is a library for parsing and generating PlainTalk in Rust.

PlainTalk is a message and field framing protocol. Fields are separated by an ASCII space, messages are terminated by a newline (CR LF or LF). For a more complete description of PlainTalk, see PlainTalk – Introduction and Definition.

See also the reference documentation.

impl Iterator for pullparser::{PullParser, Message}

Both PullParser and Message are conceptually iterators over a sequence of items, so it could be neat to implement the Iterator trait for them. However, this seems to be impossible with the library as it currently is, because the pullparser library juggles different explicit lifetimes for all the contained items, something the type signature of Iterator::next does not allow for.

I don't currently know how to resolve this.
