Mergeable

interface Mergeable<ActualWrapper : Mergeable<ActualWrapper, BackingField>, BackingField> : Boxed<ActualWrapper, BackingField>

Represents a self-merging interface for types that wrap a backing field.

The purpose of this interface is to provide a mechanism to merge two instances of the same type by unwrapping their backing fields, applying a transformation function to these fields, and wrapping the result into a new instance of the same type.

Parameters

ActualWrapper

The specific type implementing the interface.

BackingField

The type of the backing field wrapped by the instances.

Inheritors
