//! Extension traits for `std::sync::Mutex`.

    /// considered an exceptional situation and should always result in panic.

    ///
    /// ```
    /// use std::sync::Mutex;
    /// use stdext::prelude::*;
    ///
    /// let lock = Mutex::new(1);
    ///
    /// let n = lock.force_lock();
    /// assert_eq!(*n, 1);
    /// ```
