1//! Waking a future from another thread.
2//!
3//! A platform's own I/O is blocking — a synchronous HTTP read, a provider call,
4//! a file descriptor a system API hands over — and the framework has no thread
5//! pool to hide that behind. What it has is the waker: work runs on a thread of
6//! its own and, when it has something, wakes whoever was awaiting it.
7//!
8//! Two shapes cover everything here. A [`Signal`] carries one value, which is
9//! what a request's status line is. A [`ChunkChannel`] carries a stream of byte
10//! chunks with the consumer's progress bounding the producer, which is what a
11//! response body is — without the bound, a slow reader and a fast server put the
12//! whole download in memory, which is the thing streaming exists to avoid.
