    let a = input!("PromptA => ");
    let b = input!(|| { print!("PromptB => ") });
    let c = input!((String::from("PromptC => ")));

    assert!(a, String::from("Catch"));
    assert!(b, String::from("Input"));
    assert!(c, String::from("Crate"));

    println!(">> {} : {} : {}", a, b, c);
}
$ cargo run
...
