While there is traits inheritance and traits defaults, there is no easy mean specialize a struct in a nice way.

See rust-lang/rfcs#349

Looks like it is needed by other projects as well servo/servo#2853

Do you know where this is tracked? All serious discussions about "specialization" I saw were not about inheritance: rust-lang/rfcs#1210

Sadly not. The workaround is to leverage enums as much as possible and mostly works. I try to keep the language limit issues open since probably they'll come up with an easier solution.

Another interesting rfc vaguely related to the topic: rust-lang/rfcs#1546

Is this issue still relevant for rust-av?
