Description
When returning an iterator of an unspecified type, I like to return impl ExactSizeIterator
when I know that the type I'm returning always implements that trait. That gives the caller more options. But I noticed that while the regular Iterator
trait has the #[must_use]
attribute, the ExactSizeIterator
trait does not. This means that the caller isn't warned about ignoring the return value when they call my function. This seems like an odd oversight, so the attribute should probably be added?
The same seems to apply to other more specific iterator traits, like DoubleEndedIterator
and FusedIterator
.
