 //! Marker types for limiting access.
 
+/// A trait for restricting an [`Access`] type to anther [`Access`] type.
+///
+/// Restricting `Self` to `To` results in [`Self::Restricted`].
+/// Restriction is a symmetric operation.
+///
+/// The following table holds:
+///
+/// | `Self`        | `To`          | `Self` restricted to `To` |
+/// | ------------- | ------------- | ------------------------- |
+/// | `T`           | `T`           | `T`                       |
+/// | [`ReadWrite`] | `T`           | `T`                       |
+/// | [`NoAccess`]  | `T`           | [`NoAccess`]              |
+/// | [`ReadOnly`]  | [`WriteOnly`] | [`NoAccess`]              |
