This trait allows us to express in the type system that for some Item
we
are able to calculate a Key
that identifies that item.

sourcefn partition(&self, item: &Self::Item) -> Self::Key
fn partition(&self, item: &Self::Item) -> Self::Key
Partition the Item
by calculating its Key
The resulting key should ideally be unique for an Item
or arrived at
in such a way that if two distinct Item
instances partition to the
same key they are mergeable if put into the same collection by this key.
