Summary
Sort of undecided on this. These are already stored as
dyn Reporter
in each struct, so we're already using dynamic dispatch in that sense. But all the methods takeimpl Reporter
. This is sometimes nice (the callsites are simpler?), but it also means that in practice, you often can't passNone
to these methods that acceptOption<impl Reporter>
, because Rust can't infer the generic type.Anyway, this adds more consistency and simplifies the setup by using
Arc<dyn Reporter>
everywhere.
