This crate provides:

* A specialized, custom thread pool, `DispatchPool`, for offloading
  blocking or otherwise long running operations from a main or reactor
  threads.

* A `BlockingPermit` for limiting the number of concurrent blocking operations
  via a `Semaphore` type.

* A `Cleaver` for splitting `Stream` buffers into more manageable sizes.

## Minimum supported rust version

MSRV := 1.39.0

The crate will fail fast on any lower rustc (via a build.rs version
check) and is also CI tested on this version.
