//! Objects that implement this Trait provide a way to store their data in way that respects the
//! confidentiality of its data. Specifically, an object implementing this Trait guarantees
//! if its data with [store_secret](StoreSecret::store_secret) are saved in the file with visibility
//! equivalent to [rosenpass_util::file::Visibility::Secret].

/// # Example
/// ```rust
/// use std::io::Write;
/// use std::path::Path;
/// use rosenpass_secret_memory::file::StoreSecret;
///
/// use rosenpass_util::file::{fopen_w, Visibility};
///
/// struct MyWeirdI32 {
///     _priv_i32: [u8; 4],
/// }
///
/// impl StoreSecret for MyWeirdI32 {
///     type Error = std::io::Error;
///
///     fn store_secret<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
///         fopen_w(path, Visibility::Secret)?.write_all(&self._priv_i32)?;
///         Ok(())
///     }

///     fn store<P: AsRef<Path>>(&self, path: P) -> Result<(), Self::Error> {
