Since the packet ID is optional in a PUBLISH packet depending on the QoS, adapter functions that construct a PUBLISH packet may need to conditionally insert a packet ID. With the current builder method, this is not ergonomic -- the user must create a mutable binding for the builder and conditionally call the
packet_id()method. By changing the method to take an Option, the user can unconditionally call the method and avoid interrupting the builder pattern. See the simplification inexamples/publish.rsas an example.This is a suggestion for a minor API change. It makes certain use cases nicer to implement (mine looks similar to the example, adapting from another library that generates MQTT messages at multiple QoS levels), but maybe the extra
Someis not as nice when the QoS is known at compile time. An alternative would be to a new method that takes theOption.
