Using impl Trait in the return position is one of Rust's most useful features for library authors.
It allows you to change the concrete type without breaking semver.

The Axiom level is really fascinating to me. This isn't something that exists in the Rust language, but I suspect that it will emerge. Some parts of Rust are so safe that they essentially require no further review.
In safe Rust:
[More difficult]
- "Semver exempt" APIs
- Unreliable Traits (Eq, Ord)
- Sealed Traits
- Safe Rust (Most safe code lives here)
- Axiom
[Less difficult]
In unsafe Rust land:
[More difficult]
- Raw Assembly
- Pointer Poker (Using raw pointers and type casting to do whatever you want)
- Unsafe (Most unsafe code lives here)
- Partial Initialization
- Like-for-like FFI
- Experimental/Internal…

Aspects like that mean that coding patterns are more difficult to verify than others. We can use that difficulty quotient as a way to position those patterns along a spectrum.
