Make sure to explain: * For your top choice(s), what is the key factor that led you there? For things you don't like, what is the key factor that pushed you over the edge? * If you identify considerations that don't appear in the write-up above, please add **FIXME** in your description so I can integrate it. * For anything negative, what don't you like about that option? If something is hard blocked (:x:), what would it take to remove that block (even if you still wouldn't like the design overall)? * Is there a "core tradeoff" for you? ### The options in short | Option | Bound | | --- | --- | | StatusQuo | `D: Database<items(): DoubleEndedIterator>` | | DotDot | `D: Database<items(..): DoubleEndedIterator>` | | Return | `D: Database<items::return: DoubleEndedIterator>` | | Output | `D: Database<items::Output: DoubleEndedIterator>` | | Fn | `D: Database<fn items(): DoubleEndedIterator>` | | FnDotDot | `D: Database<fn items(..): DoubleEndedIterator>` | | FnReturn | `D: Database<fn items::return: DoubleEndedIterator>` | | FnOutput | `D: Database<fn items::Output: DoubleEndedIterator>` | ### Big table Put in * :heavy_check_mark: for your top choice * :green_heart: for things you like but not top choice * :yellow_heart: for things you have significant reservations, even if you like them ("neutral overall") * :red_circle: for things you dislike but are not hard blocking * :x: if you are putting a hard block (if you must) | Person | StatusQuo | DotDot | Return | Output | Fn | FnDotDot | FnReturn | FnOutput | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | *example* | `f()` | `f(..)` | `f::return` | `f::Output` | `fn f()` | `fn f(..)` | `fn f::return` | `fn f::Output` | | (your name here) | ### Your name name: Analysis.
