//! This crate provides a `LazyCell` struct which acts as a lazily filled
//! `Cell`, but with frozen contents.
//!
//! With a `RefCell`, the inner contents cannot be borrowed for the lifetime of
//! the entire object, but only of the borrows returned. A `LazyCell` is a
//! variation on `RefCell` which allows borrows to be tied to the lifetime of
//! the outer object.
//!
//! The limitation of a `LazyCell` is that after it is initialized, it can never
//! be modified.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! The following example shows a quick example of the basic functionality of
//! `LazyCell`.
//!
//! ```
//! use lazycell::LazyCell;
//!
//! let lazycell = LazyCell::new();
//!
//! assert_eq!(lazycell.borrow(), None);
//! assert!(!lazycell.filled());
//! lazycell.fill(1).ok();
//! assert!(lazycell.filled());
//! assert_eq!(lazycell.borrow(), Some(&1));
//! assert_eq!(lazycell.into_inner(), Some(1));
//! ```
//!
//! `AtomicLazyCell` is a variant that uses an atomic variable to manage
//! coordination in a thread-safe fashion.
