// The API exposes a number of method receivers on structs that implements the
// logic required to comply with the specifications and ensure a compliant feed.
// A number of overrides occur to help with iTunes visibility of your episodes.
//

// Notably, the [Podcast.AddItem(i Item)](#Podcast.AddItem) function performs most
// of the heavy lifting by taking the [Item](#Item) input and performing
// validation, overrides and duplicate setters through the feed.

//
// In no way are you restricted in having full control over your feeds. You may
// choose to skip the API methods and instead use the structs directly. The
// fields have been grouped by RSS 2.0 and iTunes fields.
//
// iTunes specific fields are all prefixed with the letter `I`.
