/// Spawns a Future to execute in the Slint event loop.
///
/// This function is intended to be invoked only from the main Slint thread that runs the event loop.
/// The event loop must be initialized prior to calling this function.
///
/// For spawning a `Send` future from a different thread, this function should be called from a closure
/// passed to [`invoke_from_event_loop()`](crate::api::invoke_from_event_loop).
///
/// This function is typically called from a UI callback.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust,no_run
/// slint::spawn_local(async move {
///     // your async code goes here
/// }).unwrap();
/// ```
///
/// # Compatibility with Tokio and other runtimes
///
/// The runtime used to execute the future on the main thread is platform-dependent,
/// for instance, it could be the winit event loop. Therefore, futures that assume a specific runtime
/// may not work. To overcome this, these futures should be executed in a thread where the specific
/// runtime is running.
///
/// For Tokio, this can be achieved by awaiting [tokio::spawn](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/task/fn.spawn.html)
/// in the future passed to slint::spawn_local.
///
/// ```rust
/// # i_slint_backend_testing::init_with_event_loop();
/// // In your main function, create a runtime that runs on the other threads
/// let tokio_runtime = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new().unwrap();
///
/// // ...
/// // Within the UI thread (for example in a callback handler)
/// slint::spawn_local(async move {
///     let result = tokio_runtime.spawn(async move {
///         // This code is running on the Tokio runtime's thread, you can await futures that depends on Tokio here.
///         42
///     }).await.unwrap();
///     // now we are back on the UI thread so we can do something with the result on the UI thread
///     assert_eq!(result, 42);
///     # slint::quit_event_loop();
/// }).unwrap();
/// # slint::run_event_loop().unwrap();
