Why is there no Abs trait in Std?

1

Why does Std have the Add, Div etc traits but not the Abs (absolute value) trait?

2

The traits exists mainly for the purpose of operator overloading. Since there is no operator for abs, there is no trait.

The num_traits crate has it (as part of its Signed trait).
