housekeeping: Cleaning up while you're away
This is a concurrent memory reclaimer, for dropping/recycling objects shared
between threads. It is designed to run periodically, e.g. in between batches
of executed tasks. It is inspired by seize and crossbeam_epoch, but
is simpler and offers lower-level interfaces.
Origin
housekeeping is being developed for krabby, an experimental Rust compiler,
due to the feature limitations of seize and [crossbeam-deque]. It is
offered as a standalone crate in the hope that it may prove useful for other
concurrent data structure libraries.
