"textContent": "dlight:\n\n> I think the right feature for abbreviating long derive lines is some kind of derive alias.\n\nI agree that this is a useful feature, but I think having `Eq` derive `PartialEq` as well and `Copy` derive `Clone` as well is good even in presence of that feature.\n\nThat is, if we were going to design a Rust-like language today, I think having `#[derive(Eq)]` is clearly a better choice than `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)]`. But the current state of Rust and whether it makes sense to use hacks/editions to prevent breakage is another debate.",
