### Important traits for DecodeUtf16<I>

`impl<I> Iterator for DecodeUtf16<I> where
I: Iterator<Item = u16>, type Item = Result<char, DecodeUtf16Error>;`

    pub fn decode_utf16<I>(iter: I) -> DecodeUtf16<<I as IntoIterator>::IntoIter> where
        I: IntoIterator<Item = u16>,

Create an iterator over the UTF-16 encoded code points in `iter`, returning unpaired surrogates as `Err`s.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::char::decode_utf16;

    fn main() {
        // 𝄞mus<invalid>ic<invalid>
        let v = [0xD834, 0xDD1E, 0x006d, 0x0075,
                 0x0073, 0xDD1E, 0x0069, 0x0063,
                 0xD834];

        assert_eq!(decode_utf16(v.iter().cloned())
                               .map(|r| r.map_err(|e| e.unpaired_surrogate()))
                               .collect::<Vec<_>>(),
                   vec![Ok('𝄞'),
                        Ok('m'), Ok('u'), Ok('s'),
                        Err(0xDD1E),
                        Ok('i'), Ok('c'),
                        Err(0xD834)]);
    }Run

A lossy decoder can be obtained by replacing `Err` results with the replacement character:

    use std::char::{decode_utf16, REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER};

    fn main() {
        // 𝄞mus<invalid>ic<invalid>
        let v = [0xD834, 0xDD1E, 0x006d, 0x0075,
                 0x0073, 0xDD1E, 0x0069, 0x0063,
                 0xD834];

        assert_eq!(decode_utf16(v.iter().cloned())
                       .map(|r| r.unwrap_or(REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER))
                       .collect::<String>(),
                   "𝄞mus�ic�");
    }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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
