/// Handle to a thread-isolated Lua VM.

/// `Isle` owns the communication channel and the join handle for the
/// Lua thread.  All operations are thread-safe (`Isle: Send + Sync`).
///
/// # Lifecycle
///
/// 1. [`Isle::spawn`] creates the Lua VM on a dedicated thread.
/// 2. Use [`eval`](Isle::eval), [`call`](Isle::call), or [`exec`](Isle::exec)
///    to run code.
/// 3. [`shutdown`](Isle::shutdown) sends a graceful stop signal and
///    joins the thread.
///
/// If the `Isle` is dropped without calling `shutdown`, the channel
/// disconnects and the Lua thread exits on its next receive attempt.
#[must_use = "use .shutdown() for clean thread join; dropping without shutdown leaks the thread"]
