--- A module to build a set of properties based on a graph of rules.
--
-- Sources
-- =======
--
-- This module holds the business logic used by `ruled.client`. It provides an
-- object on which one can add sets of rules or, alternatively, functions.
-- In this module, the sets of rules or custom functions are called sources.
--
-- The sources are used to build a property table. Once all sources are
-- evaluated, the `:apply()` method will set the properties on the target
-- object.
--
-- Sources can have dependencies between them and the property table can only
-- be built if the sources graph can be resolved.
--
-- Rules
-- =====
--
-- The `rules` sources themselves are composed, as the name imply, of a set of
-- rule. A rule is a table with a `properties` *or* `callbacks` attribute along
-- with either `rule` or `rule_any`. It is also possible to add an `except` or
-- `except_any` attribute to narrow the scope in which the rule is applied.
-- Here's a basic example of a minimal `gears.matcher`.
--
-- @DOC_text_gears_matcher_default_EXAMPLE@
--
-- This example shows the different matching sections:
--
-- @DOC_text_gears_matcher_types_EXAMPLE@

-- More examples are available in `ruled.client`.

-- accepted.
--
-- Custom property matcher are useful when objects are compared. This avoids
-- having to implement custom metatable for everything.
