+/// A Git commit's set of trailers that are left in the commit's
+/// message.
+///
+/// Trailers are key/value pairs in the last paragraph of a message,
+/// not including any patches or conflicts that may be present.
+///
+/// # Usage
+///
+/// To construct `Trailers`, you can use [`Trailers::parse`] or its
+/// `FromStr` implementation.
+///
+/// To iterate over the trailers, you can use [`Trailers::iter`].
+///
+/// To render the trailers to a `String`, you can use
+/// [`Trailers::to_string`] or its `Display` implementation (note that
+/// it will default to using `": "` as the separator.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```text
+/// Add new functionality
+///
+/// Making code better with new functionality.
+///
+/// X-Signed-Off-By: Alex Sellier
+/// X-Co-Authored-By: Fintan Halpenny
+/// ```
+///
+/// The trailers in the above example are:
