... in function signatures.
These breaking changes aim at improving usability by allowing users
to take advantage of Rust error management features sur as `ok_or`,
`map_err`, `expect` and the `?` operator. See the `examples` and
`tutorials` to get an idea of the impacts.
FormatValue is now renamed to GenericFormattedValue and the API slightly
changed. In addition there is now a FormattedValue trait, and a
SpecificFormattedValue trait plus types for Bytes, Buffers and the
existing ClockTime.
This allows to create functions like
Pad::query_duration<F: SpecificFormattedValue>() -> Option<F>
and doesn't require the caller to unwrap the generic value anymore,
which is completely unneeded in these cases.
In addition, Segment became FormattedSegment<T> with API to
upcast/downcast between the specific formatted values and the generic
formatted value. This greatly simplifies usage of Segments.
And also implement a FormatValue type that holds a value together with
its format to make usage of the positions/durations/seek positions/etc
more convenient and safe.
