+//! # The Rust Prelude
+//!
+//! Rust comes with a variety of things in its standard library. However, if
+//! you had to manually import every single thing that you used, it would be
+//! very verbose. But importing a lot of things that a program never uses isn't
+//! good either. A balance needs to be struck.
+//!
+//! The *prelude* is the list of things that Rust automatically imports into
+//! every Rust program. It's kept as small as possible, and is focused on
+//! things, particularly traits, which are used in almost every single Rust
+//! program.
+//!
+//! # Other preludes
+//!
+//! Preludes can be seen as a pattern to make using multiple types more
+//! convenient. As such, you'll find other preludes in the standard library,
+//! such as [`std::io::prelude`]. Various libraries in the Rust ecosystem may
+//! also define their own preludes.
+//!
+//! [`std::io::prelude`]: crate::io::prelude
+//!
+//! The difference between 'the prelude' and these other preludes is that they
+//! are not automatically `use`'d, and must be imported manually. This is still
+//! easier than importing all of their constituent components.
+//!
+//! # Prelude contents
+//!
+//! The first version of the prelude is used in Rust 2015 and Rust 2018,
+//! and lives in [`std::prelude::v1`].
+//! [`std::prelude::rust_2015`] and [`std::prelude::rust_2018`] re-export this prelude.
+//! It re-exports the following:
+//!
+//! * <code>[std::marker]::{[Copy], [Send], [Sized], [Sync], [Unpin]}</code>,
+//! marker traits that indicate fundamental properties of types.
+//! * <code>[std::ops]::{[Drop], [Fn], [FnMut], [FnOnce]}</code>, various
+//! operations for both destructors and overloading `()`.
+//! * <code>[std::mem]::[drop][mem::drop]</code>, a convenience function for explicitly
+//! dropping a value.
+//! * <code>[std::boxed]::[Box]</code>, a way to allocate values on the heap.
+//! * <code>[std::borrow]::[ToOwned]</code>, the conversion trait that defines
+//! [`to_owned`], the generic method for creating an owned type from a
+//! borrowed type.
+//! * <code>[std::clone]::[Clone]</code>, the ubiquitous trait that defines
+//! [`clone`][Clone::clone], the method for producing a copy of a value.
+//! * <code>[std::cmp]::{[PartialEq], [PartialOrd], [Eq], [Ord]}</code>, the
+//! comparison traits, which implement the comparison operators and are often
+//! seen in trait bounds.
+//! * <code>[std::convert]::{[AsRef], [AsMut], [Into], [From]}</code>, generic
+//! conversions, used by savvy API authors to create overloaded methods.
+//! * <code>[std::default]::[Default]</code>, types that have default values.
+//! * <code>[std::iter]::{[Iterator], [Extend], [IntoIterator], [DoubleEndedIterator], [ExactSizeIterator]}</code>,
+//! iterators of various
+//! kinds.
+//! * <code>[std::option]::[Option]::{[self][Option], [Some], [None]}</code>, a
+//! type which expresses the presence or absence of a value. This type is so
+//! commonly used, its variants are also exported.
+//! * <code>[std::result]::[Result]::{[self][Result], [Ok], [Err]}</code>, a type
+//! for functions that may succeed or fail. Like [`Option`], its variants are
+//! exported as well.
+//! * <code>[std::string]::{[String], [ToString]}</code>, heap-allocated strings.
+//! * <code>[std::vec]::[Vec]</code>, a growable, heap-allocated vector.
+//!
+//! The prelude used in Rust 2021, [`std::prelude::rust_2021`], includes all of the above,
+//! and in addition re-exports:
+//!
+//! * <code>[std::convert]::{[TryFrom], [TryInto]}</code>,
+//! * <code>[std::iter]::[FromIterator]</code>.
