+
+This crate provides an attribute macro to make trait methods callable without
+the trait in scope.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+inherent = "1.0"
+```
+
+## Example
+
+```rust
+mod types {
+ use inherent::inherent;
+
+ trait Trait {
+ fn f(self);
+ }
+
+ pub struct Struct;
+
+ #[inherent]
+ impl Trait for Struct {
+ pub fn f(self) {}
+ }
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ // types::Trait is not in scope, but method can be called.
+ types::Struct.f();
+}
+```
+
+Without the `inherent` macro on the trait impl, this would have failed with the
+following error:
+
+```console
+error[E0599]: no method named `f` found for type `types::Struct` in the current scope
+ --> src/main.rs:18:19
+ |
+8 | pub struct Struct;
+ | ------------------ method `f` not found for this
+...
+18 | types::Struct.f();
+ | ^
+ |
+ = help: items from traits can only be used if the trait is implemented and in scope
+ = note: the following trait defines an item `f`, perhaps you need to implement it:
+ candidate #1: `types::Trait`
+```
+
+The `inherent` macro expands to inherent methods on the `Self` type of the trait
+impl that forward to the trait methods. In the case above, the generated code
+would be:
+
+```rust
+impl Struct {
+ pub fn f(self) {
+ <Self as Trait>::f(self)
+ }
+}
+```
