//! Pronoun selection & parsing for various version of user preferences
//!
//! There may be several possible representations of parsed prefstrings, each of which possibly
//! with a different algorithm for selecting pronouns, and a different way of parsing itself.  This
//! module houses the implementations for each of these versions.

/// versions, but universally they must be able to at least produce a weighted list of pronouns,

///
/// To this end, all versions of the user preferences implement [`Preference`].  For convenience,
/// `UserPreferences` also implements [`Preference`].

/// Because parsing a prefstring must be done in relation to an [`InstanceSettings`], the
