Step 1. box_derive_app

This is the test application. This work starts from the information presented here: https://dev.to/magnusstrale/rust-trait-objects-in-a-vector-non-trivial-4co5

That blog post is about doing == comparison on disjoint trait objects. My goal is to create a "command-queue" that is ordered by time (just a u128). Therefore, I needed to be able to use comparison operators on disjoint trait objects, rather than ==.

Step 2. compare_macro

A certain amount of boilerplate will exists on these 'commands'. This step would be to replace a lot that with a a macro if possible.

Conclusion

Goals were reached for the day. Turns out my old comparison code for #1 didn't work quite like I thought it did so had to redo a couple of things.

Regardless, I did get around to Step 2 and ended up achieving what I wanted. The macro I came up with is probably nothing extremely novel but it was a good learning exercise and there might be something in the code worthwhile if you're trying to achieve a macro of your own.

p.s. Look at the tests in "box_derive_app" to see how the command queue behaves.
