20/// A single-threaded task pool for polling futures to completion.
21///
22/// This executor allows you to multiplex any number of tasks onto a single
23/// thread. It's appropriate to poll strictly I/O-bound futures that do very
24/// little work in between I/O actions.
25///
26/// To get a handle to the pool that implements [`Spawn`], use the
27/// [`spawner()`](LocalPool::spawner) method. Because the executor is
28/// single-threaded, it supports a special form of task spawning for non-`Send`
29/// futures, via [`spawn_local_obj`](futures_task::LocalSpawn::spawn_local_obj).
