Matrix State Resolution in Rust!

/// Abstraction of a PDU so users can have their own PDU types.

    /// The `EventId` of this event.
    fn event_id(&self) -> &EventId;

    fn room_id(&self) -> &RoomId;

struct StateResolution {
    // For now the StateResolution struct is empty. If "caching" `event_map`
    // between `resolve` calls ends up being more efficient (probably not, as this would eat memory)
    // it may have an `event_map` field. The `event_map` is all the events
    // `StateResolution` has to know about to resolve state.
}

The StateStore trait is an abstraction around what ever database your server (or maybe even client) uses to store Persistent Data Units.

We use rumas types when deserializing any PDU or it's contents which helps avoid a lot of type checking logic synapse must do while authenticating event chains.
