This was missed in the migration to the reference being on docs.rs. Not feeling its worth finding a way to integrate it into the new structure.
Things that tripped up a user
- Derive reference was misunderstood to say that the only alternative to
the built-in value parser behavior was to implement
`ValueParserFactory`
- We now delegate to `value_parser!`s docs any talk of integrating
into it (it should have been a subbullet of "not present" anyways)
- `value_parser!` relies too much on the example to demonstrate behavior
when the user will likely make the determination of whether its
relevant before then
- We are now more upfront what type mappings are supported
- Too many steps to find all information
- For example, a user needs to look at `TypedValueParser`
implementations, `ValueParserFactory` implementations, and `From<T>
for ValueParser` implementations to understand what all can be used
- We are now more upfront with a lot of this information at the entry
points the user is most likely to look at
In addition, I did an audit of the docs to make sure they were updated
for us only supporting the new behavior and all of the new APIs.
