<p>This crate provides locks/mutexes for multi-threaded access to a
single <code>Vec<T></code> instance.</p>
<p>Any thread can request exclusive access to a slice of the
<code>Vec</code>. Such access is granted, if no other thread is
simultaneously holding the permission to access an overlapping
slice.</p>

<h2 id="repvecrangelock-example-usage">RepVecRangeLock example
usage</h2>
<p>The <code>RepVecRangeLock</code> is a restricted range lock, that
provides access to interleaved patterns of slices to the threads.</p>
<p>Locking a <code>RepVecRangeLock</code> is more lightweight than
locking a <code>VecRangeLock</code>. The threads can not freely choose
slice ranges, but only choose a repeating slice pattern by specifying a
pattern offset.</p>
<p>Please see the example below.</p>
