I'm using a library which provides an enum, whose variants I would like to use as keys in a hash and/or btree map. The library's enum doesn't implement Hash or Ord.
Can I do better than go through the whole newtype pattern song-and-dance by hand?
No. You can't even use a macro to automate it because macros cannot look into types not defined inside the macro invocation.
Ask the library maintainer to add these derives.
