Importing Trait never used, but required?

    = help: items from traits can only be used if the trait is implemented and in scope
    = note: the following trait defines an item `field_parser`, perhaps you need to implement it:
            candidate #1: `vx::FieldParser`

warning: unused import: `vx::FieldParser`
  --> src/vx/parser.rs:11:5

11 | use vx::FieldParser;

Looks like FieldParser isn't implemented for &Field<P> according to the top message? If the trait isn't implemented, you aren't calling a method from it so the import is unused.

3

so I have defined

impl FieldParser for Field<P>

I even tried:

impl FieldParser for &Field<P>

That didn't seem to work.

4

I ended up just de-referencing field.
