/// Serializes a single value to be sent to the database.
///
/// The output is sent as a bind parameter, and the data must be written in the
/// expected format for the given backend.
///
/// When possible, implementations of this trait should prefer using an existing
/// implementation, rather than writing to `out` directly. (For example, if you
/// are implementing this for an enum, which is represented as an integer in the
/// database, you should use `i32::to_sql(x, out)` instead of writing to `out`
/// yourself.)
///
/// Any types which implement this trait should also
/// [`#[derive(AsExpression)]`](derive@crate::expression::AsExpression).
///
/// ### Backend specific details
///
/// - For PostgreSQL, the bytes will be sent using the binary protocol, not text.
/// - For SQLite, all implementations should be written in terms of an existing
///   `ToSql` implementation.
/// - For MySQL, the expected bytes will depend on the return value of
///   `type_metadata` for the given SQL type. See [`MysqlType`] for details.
/// - For third party backends, consult that backend's documentation.
///
/// [`MysqlType`]: ../mysql/enum.MysqlType.html
///
/// ### Examples
///
/// Most implementations of this trait will be defined in terms of an existing
/// implementation.
///
/// ```rust
/// # use diesel::backend::Backend;
/// # use diesel::expression::AsExpression;
/// # use diesel::sql_types::*;
/// # use diesel::serialize::{self, ToSql, Output};
/// # use std::io::Write;
/// #
/// #[repr(i32)]
/// #[derive(Debug, Clone, Copy, AsExpression)]
/// #[diesel(sql_type = Integer)]
/// pub enum MyEnum {
///     A = 1,
///     B = 2,
/// }
///
/// impl<DB> ToSql<Integer, DB> for MyEnum
/// where
///     DB: Backend,
///     i32: ToSql<Integer, DB>,
/// {
///     fn to_sql<'b>(&'b self, out: &mut Output<'b, '_, DB>) -> serialize::Result {
///         match self {
///             MyEnum::A => 1.to_sql(out),
///             MyEnum::B => 2.to_sql(out),
///         }
///     }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Using temporary values as part of the `ToSql` implementation requires additional
/// work.
///
/// Backends using [`RawBytesBindCollector`] as [`BindCollector`] copy the serialized values as part
/// of `Write` implementation. This includes the `Mysql` and the `Pg` backend provided by diesel.
/// This means existing `ToSql` implementations can be used even with
/// temporary values. For these it is required to call
/// [`Output::reborrow`] to shorten the lifetime of the `Output` type correspondingly.
///
