FEATURE: add seqan3::default_printer
This PR will resolve seqan/product_backlog#63. This issue is a long-standing open to-do of mine. I hope that you can take it over and push it over the finishing line. The state of the current PR is just a draft of an idea. I'll comment on multiple code locations to point out the advantages of the new design. # The old design The major idea of the design is due to the following observation: > We use overload resolution and in particular overload ordering via concepts to determine the order in which we should print Just to give a small example (the more down, the more specialized): ```cpp std::cout //-printable [1] < seqan3::tuple_like // [4] < std::ranges::input_range // [2] < std::vector<uint8_t> // [3] < seqan3::sequence // [3] < char * // [2] std::cout //-printable [1] < char // [5] < seqan3::tuple_like // [4] < seqan3::alphabet // [5] < seqan3::mask // [6] ``` NOTE: that using concepts as overload resolution always uses a partially ordered set, which can be depicted by as a [Hasse Diagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasse_diagram), and by using the except clauses via `requires` we give it a total order. # The new design ### Before anything, note that the new design does not break any existing code. As existing `seqan3::debugstream << ` overloads, still take place in overload resolution. The idea is simple: * Have a list of printers. * The order of the printers dictates in which order an object should be printed. * We allow that multiple printers might be viable to print a type. * Each `printer<type>` either has a function object / lambda `print` or not; depending on whether the `printer` can print that `type` or not (implemented by [template specialization](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/template_specialization)) * We can explicitly use `printer` in other printer's, if we know that only that overload should be used, So put together: For a given type, ask every printer in order whether it can print that type and the first one to answer yes, is the selected printer. ---- [1] If all overloads do not work, use `std::ostream` https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/core/debug_stream/debug_stream_type.hpp#L242-L247 [2] Use this for all `std::ranges::input_range`s except if type is something like `std::filesystem` (type == range_value_t) or `char *` https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/core/debug_stream/range.hpp#L96-L98 https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/core/debug_stream/range.hpp#L38-L45 [3] Same as [2] where value_type is an alphabet but only if the alphabet is not an `unsigned int` (this condition has no test case?!) https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/core/debug_stream/range.hpp#L138-L141 [4] Use this for all `std::tuple`-like types except if it is a `std::ranges::input_range` (what is a tuple and ranges at the same time?!) and an `seqan3::alphabet` (basically `seqan3::alphabet_tuple_base` derived types) https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/core/debug_stream/tuple.hpp#L53-L56 [5] Use this for all `seqan3::alphabet`s except if it can be printed by `std::cout` (like `char`) https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/alphabet/detail/debug_stream_alphabet.hpp#L30-L32 [6] Type must be `seqan3::semialphabet` and `seqan3::mask` https://github.com/seqan/seqan3/blob/6b681fb2eae5ab2997d293e99fc6a7f869a20316/include/seqan3/alphabet/detail/debug_stream_alphabet.hpp#L46-L48
