<p>In general, users of this crate shouldn’t need to implement this trait,
since implementations are already provided for <code>&str</code> along with other
variants of string types, as well as <code>FnMut(&Captures) -> String</code> (or any
<code>FnMut(&Captures) -> T</code> where <code>T: AsRef<str></code>). Those cover most use cases,
but callers can implement this trait directly if necessary.</p>
