Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Rust bindings and utilities, then compare the proptest and quickcheck APIs with the cargo test and cargo fuzz workflows. The desired result is a defined integration that reuses property-testing code and generators for fuzzing while keeping cargo test quick; the issue does not identify specific files or tests.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The idea: if a project already has property-based tests, whether using proptest or quickcheck (or maybe something else?), it's useful to do fuzz testing with those APIs. That way, cargo test will still run quickly, while cargo fuzz will reuse all the same property-testing code, generators, etc., and run for as long as you want to see if it can find anything.
