This crate provides a set of alternative customizable `#[derive]` attributes for Rust.

## [Documentation][documentation]
## Stability

This crate is stable and follows semver. It requires *rustc 1.34 or later* and changing the minimal rustc version will be considered a semver breaking change.

## What it does

```rust
#[derive(Derivative)]
#[derivative(Debug)]
struct Foo {
    foo: u8,
    #[derivative(Debug="ignore")]
    bar: u8,
}

// Prints `Foo { foo: 42 }`
println!("{:?}", Foo { foo: 42, bar: 1 });
```

This is inspired from how [`serde`] wonderfully handles attributes.
This also takes some code and ideas from `serde` itself.

Some tests are directly adapted from `rustc`'s tests.
