Syntax: either::for_both!( expression , pattern => expression )

§Example

use either::Either;

fn length(owned_or_borrowed: Either<String, &'static str>) -> usize {
    either::for_both!(owned_or_borrowed, s => s.len())
}

fn main() {
    let borrowed = Either::Right("Hello world!");
    let owned = Either::Left("Hello world!".to_owned());

    assert_eq!(length(borrowed), 12);
    assert_eq!(length(owned), 12);
}
