//! This module defines a basic executor for managing asynchronous tasks.
//! The executor utilizes a ready queue for receiving tasks, and a panic
//! channel to signal any panics that may occur while polling tasks.
//!
//! It includes the `Executor`, `ExecutorTask`, and `Status` types, which
//! handle task scheduling, task states, and task completion respectively.
