async_nursery 0.6.0

Primitive for structured concurrency
Documentation
//! We can leverage TryStreamExt in order to cancel concurrent tasks early if one
//! runs into an error.
//!
//! Expected output:
//!
//! $ cargo run --example return_error
//!
//! INFO [return_error] nursery created
//! INFO [return_error] spawned slow.
//! INFO [return_error] spawned wrong.

	//
	// Warning, that last phrase is important. It cancels all tasks when it get's
	// dropped. Not when try_next stops. I will in this example because we use
	// the `?` operator to return early and when the function returns the NurseryStream
	// get's dropped.
