Crate stoplight

Stoplight is a small library for stoppable threads/tasks.

 use stoplight::Thread;
 use std::sync::atomic::{AtomicBool, Ordering};

 // spawn our task, this creates a new OS thread.
 let th = Thread::spawn(|stop| {
     while !stop.load(Ordering::Relaxed) {}
     42
 });

 // stop() signals the thread to stop, and then join returns its return value.
 th.stop();
 assert_eq!(th.join().unwrap(), 42);
