A thread-safe object pool with automatic return and attach/detach semantics
The goal of an object pool is to reuse expensive to allocate objects or frequently allocated objects
Common use case is when using buffer to read IO
You would create a Pool of size n, containing Vec<u8> that can be used to call something like `file.read_to_end(buff)`
## Usage
```toml
[dependencies]
object-pool = "0.1"
```
```rust
extern crate object_pool;
```
Basic usage for pulling from the pool
```rust
reusable_buff.clear();
some_file.read_to_end(reusable_buff.deref_mut());
//reusable_buff falls out of scope and is returned to the pool
```
For access across multiple threads simply wrap the pool in an [`Arc`]
```rust
let pool: Arc<Pool<T>> = Pool::new(cap, || T::new();
```
