//! # `lazy_heap`: A wrapper around the `slab_allocator_rs` crate that allows for lazy initialization
//!
//! Although there are plenty of global allocators in the crates.io repository, 3 years of tinkering with [my own kernel code](https://github.com/kennystrawnmusic/cryptos) have taught me that, sometimes, the more time saved, the better. As such, I came up with this in the code to my own kernel but decided, because of just how useful it really is, to actually open it up to the masses.
//!
//! ## Usage
//! Using this crate allows you to use a closure to initialize the heap automatically (lazily) on the first access attempt:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use lazy_heap::LazyHeap;
//!
//! #[global_allocator]
//! pub static ALLOC: LazyHeap = LazyHeap::new(|| {
//! // allocator initialization code goes here
//! })
//! ```
//!
//! This is a much more seamless, much less error-prone, set-it-and-forget-it way to initialize heap allocation than any other approach, because, with it, you can be guaranteed that any first attempt to use `alloc` will automatically initialize the heap for you.
