A threadpool.

You can use it alone or with [`safina`](https://crates.io/crates/safina),
a safe async runtime.

## Features
- Add closures or `FnOnce` to the pool
- One of the pool's threads will execute it
- Automatically rstarts panicked threads
- `forbid(unsafe_code)`
- Depends only on `std`
- 100% test coverage

## Limitations
- Allocates memory
- Not optimized

## Documentation
<https://docs.rs/safina-threadpool>

## Examples
```rust
let pool =
    safina_threadpool::ThreadPool::new("worker", 2);
let receiver = {
    let (sender, receiver) =
        std::sync::mpsc::channel();
    for data in data_source {
        let sender_clone = sender.clone();
        pool.schedule(
            move || process_data(data, sender_clone));
    }
    receiver
};
let results: Vec<ProcessResult> =
    receiver.iter().collect();
// ...
```
