/**
A `ProgressCounter` is used to efficiently track the progress of a task occurring across multiple threads.
Imagine you have the following code:
```
use rayon::prelude::*;
let mut v: Vec<usize> = (0..1_000).collect();
v.par_iter_mut().for_each(|v| { *v += 1; });
```
Now you want to track the progress of this loop. You can use `Arc<Mutex<T>>` like so:
```
use rayon::prelude::*;
use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};
let mut v: Vec<usize> = (0..1_000).collect();
let progress_counter = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0));
v.par_iter_mut().for_each(|v| {
*v += 1;
*progress_counter.lock().unwrap() += 1;
});
```
However, because the work done in each loop iteration is small, a large portion of time will be spent waiting on the mutex. A better choice in this case is to use [atomics](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/sync/atomic/index.html). `ProgressCounter` is a convenient wrapper around atomics for use in tracking progress. This example will now run much faster:
```
use rayon::prelude::*;
use tangram_progress_counter::ProgressCounter;
let mut v: Vec<usize> = (0..1_000).collect();
let progress_counter = ProgressCounter::new(v.len() as u64);
v.par_iter_mut().for_each(|v| {
*v += 1;
progress_counter.inc(1);
});
```
