ogre-stream-ext: futures shortcuts with ergonomic extensions to unlock the full power of Streams in Rust

This crate extends the futures Streams, adding the needed functionalities to enable useful and neat patterns when working with Streams for event driven and reactive programming.

Alpha Status

We are still in early infancy with still some unstable & experimental APIs, missing docs, and even non-optimized implementations.

Additional "administrative events" callbacks:

• Stream Finalization -- Introduces a "on close" & "on cancellation" callbacks to give notice that the Stream is ending. The "on close" callback is able to yield an optional final item to the Stream.
• Item production Timeout -- closes the Stream if new items do not arrive within some time limit, optionally yielding a final item (possibly a Timeout Error).

Misc features

• Items Buffer -- Allows the accumulation of some items so the producer is not slown down if the consumer glitches a little. Also used to reduce the pipeline latency -- when buffer is 1.
• Rate Keeper -- tight control over the maximum items flowing through the Stream, to preserve computational resources. This implementation is more precise and more optimized than the one offered by whatever-trait -- please see the benchmarks -- and yet more flexible in regard to keeping up the pace if temporary slowdowns occur.
• try_ extensions -- multiple new .try_ combinators simply missing from the features::TryStreamExt extension, such as:
  • .try_enumerate() & .try_enumerate_all()
