Proposed solution

I'll implement a solution for the balanced brackets problem using a stack approach.

```rust
// src/lib.rs

pub fn is_balanced(input: &str) -> bool {
    let mut stack = Vec::new();
    
    for ch in input.chars() {
        match ch {
            '(' | '[' | '{' => stack.push(ch),
            ')' => {
                if stack.pop() != Some('(') {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            ']' => {
                if stack.pop() != Some('[') {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            '}' => {
                if stack.pop() != Some('{') {
                    return false;
                }
            }
            _ => (), // Ignore non-bracket characters
        }
    }
    
    // All brackets should be closed (stack should be empty)
    stack.is_empty()
}
```

This implementation works by:

1. Using a stack to keep track of opening brackets
2. For each character in the input:
   - If it's an opening bracket `(`, `[`, or `{`, push it onto the stack
   - If it's a closing bracket `)`, `]`, or `}`:
     - Check if the top of the stack contains the matching opening bracket
     - If not, return false immediately
     - If yes, pop the matching opening bracket from the stack
   - For any other character, ignore it
3. After processing all characters, return true only if the stack is empty (all brackets were properly closed)

The time complexity is O(n) where n is the length of the input string, and the space complexity is O(m) where m is the maximum nesting depth of brackets.
