/// A channel that is initialized lazily upon first use.
///
/// A common pattern is to create the channels once as static variables, and then use them
/// throughout the application. But because channels do not have a const initializer, they must
/// be initialized lazily. [`LazyChannel`] provides a convenient way to do this.
///
/// Be careful when using this pattern. The channel will not be advertised to sinks until it is
/// initialized, which is guaranteed to happen when the channel is first used. If you need to
/// ensure the channel is initialized _before_ using it, you can use [`LazyChannel::init`].
///
/// You should choose a unique topic name per channel for compatibility with the Foxglove app.
///
/// # Example
/// ```
/// use foxglove::messages::FrameTransform;
/// use foxglove::LazyChannel;
///
/// static TF: LazyChannel<FrameTransform> = LazyChannel::new("/tf");
/// ```
