/// quite cheap to clone and pass around. Plus, it's 100% safe!
///
/// When working outside the standard library, however, you don't always have
/// and `Arc` type available to you. This trait, `UnsafeNotify`, is intended
/// to be the "unsafe version" of the `Notify` trait. This trait encodes the
/// memory management operations of a `Task`'s notification handle, allowing
/// custom implementations for the memory management of a notification handle.
///
/// Put another way, the core notification type in this library,
/// `NotifyHandle`, simply internally contains an instance of
/// `*mut UnsafeNotify`. This "unsafe trait object" is then used exclusively
/// to operate with, dynamically dispatching calls to clone, drop, and notify.
/// Critically though as a raw pointer it doesn't require a particular form
/// of memory management, allowing external implementations.
///
/// A default implementation of the `UnsafeNotify` trait is provided for the
/// `Arc` type in the standard library. If the `use_std` feature of this crate
/// is not available however, you'll be required to implement your own
/// instance of this trait to pass it into `NotifyHandle::new`.

///   to drop the current handle and have the returned handle still be valid.
/// * Calls to `drop_raw` work with `self` as a raw pointer, deallocating
///   resources associated with it. This is a pretty unsafe operation as it's
///   invalidating the `self` pointer, so extreme care needs to be taken.
