/// A mutual exclusion primitive that relies on static type information only
///
/// In some cases synchronization can be proven statically: whenever you hold an exclusive `&mut`
/// reference, the Rust type system ensures that no other part of the program can hold another
/// reference to the data. Therefore it is safe to access it even if the current thread obtained
/// this reference via a channel. Whenever this is the case, the overhead of allocating and locking
/// a [`Mutex`] can be avoided by using this static version.
///
/// One example where this is often applicable is [`Future`], which requires an exclusive reference
/// for its [`poll`] method: While a given `Future` implementation may not be safe to access by
/// multiple threads concurrently, the executor can only run the `Future` on one thread at any
/// given time, making it [`Sync`] in practice as long as the implementation is `Send`. You can
/// therefore use the static mutex to prove that your data structure is `Sync` even though it
/// contains such a `Future`.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use sync_wrapper::SyncWrapper;
/// use std::future::Future;
///
/// struct MyThing {
///     future: SyncWrapper<Box<dyn Future<Output = String> + Send>>,
/// }
///
/// impl MyThing {
///     // all accesses to `self.future` now require an exclusive reference or ownership
/// }
///
/// fn assert_sync<T: Sync>() {}
///
/// assert_sync::<MyThing>();
/// ```
