    pub trait Div<RHS = Self> {
        type Output;
        fn div(self, rhs: RHS) -> Self::Output;
    }

The division operator `/`.

# Examples

Implementing a `Div`idable rational number struct:

    use std::ops::Div;

    // The uniqueness of rational numbers in lowest terms is a consequence of
    // the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.
    #[derive(Eq)]
    #[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
    struct Rational {
        nominator: usize,
        denominator: usize,
    }

    impl Rational {
        fn new(nominator: usize, denominator: usize) -> Self {
            if denominator == 0 {
                panic!("Zero is an invalid denominator!");
            }

            // Reduce to lowest terms by dividing by the greatest common
            // divisor.
            let gcd = gcd(nominator, denominator);
            Rational {
                nominator: nominator / gcd,
                denominator: denominator / gcd,
            }
        }
    }

    impl Div for Rational {
        // The division of rational numbers is a closed operation.
        type Output = Self;

        fn div(self, rhs: Self) -> Self {
            if rhs.nominator == 0 {
                panic!("Cannot divide by zero-valued `Rational`!");
            }

            let nominator = self.nominator * rhs.denominator;
            let denominator = self.denominator * rhs.nominator;
            Rational::new(nominator, denominator)
        }
    }

    // Euclid's two-thousand-year-old algorithm for finding the greatest common
    // divisor.
    fn gcd(x: usize, y: usize) -> usize {
        let mut x = x;
        let mut y = y;
        while y != 0 {
            let t = y;
            y = x % y;
            x = t;
        }
        x
    }

    fn main() {
        assert_eq!(Rational::new(1, 2), Rational::new(2, 4));
        assert_eq!(Rational::new(1, 2) / Rational::new(3, 4),
                   Rational::new(2, 3));
    }Run

Note that `RHS = Self` by default, but this is not mandatory. Here is an implementation which enables division of vectors by scalars, as is done in linear algebra.

    use std::ops::Div;

    struct Scalar {value: f32};

    #[derive(Debug)]
    struct Vector {value: Vec<f32>};

    impl Div<Scalar> for Vector {
        type Output = Vector;

        fn div(self, rhs: Scalar) -> Vector {
            Vector {value: self.value.iter().map(|v| v / rhs.value).collect()}
        }
    }

    impl PartialEq<Vector> for Vector {
        fn eq(&self, other: &Self) -> bool {
            self.value == other.value
        }
    }

    let scalar = Scalar{value: 2f32};
    let vector = Vector{value: vec![2f32, 4f32, 6f32]};
    assert_eq!(vector / scalar, Vector{value: vec![1f32, 2f32, 3f32]});Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
