@@ -345,21 +345,21 @@ To model the levels we use a trait and empty enums:
pub trait TableLevel {}
pub enum Level4 {}
enum Level3 {}
enum Level2 {}
enum Level1 {}
pub enum Level3 {}
pub enum Level2 {}
pub enum Level1 {}
impl TableLevel for Level4 {}
impl TableLevel for Level3 {}
impl TableLevel for Level2 {}
impl TableLevel for Level1 {}
```
An empty enum has size zero and disappears completely after compiling. Unlike an empty struct, it's not possible to instantiate an empty enum. Since we will use `TableLevel` and `Level4` in exported types, they need to be public as well.

To differentiate the P1 table from the other tables, we introduce a `HierarchicalLevel` trait, which is a subtrait of `TableLevel`. But we implement it only for the levels 4, 3, and 2:
```rust
trait HierarchicalLevel: TableLevel {}
pub trait HierarchicalLevel: TableLevel {}
impl HierarchicalLevel for Level4 {}
impl HierarchicalLevel for Level3 {}
