mod.rs

//! The `continuation` module provides the implementation of a type-erased,
//! intrusively linked futures abstraction used in the scheduler of the
//! simulation library.
//!
//! Continuations are held by a calendar, allowing them to be scheduled and
//! managed based on model time.
//!
//! The [`Continuation`] type represents a continuation that can be scheduled
//! and executed within the simulation library. It is designed to handle
//! type-erased futures and supports branding to tie [token witnesses] to their
//! runtime-state, enabling statically checked validity of state transitions.
//!
//! [token witnesses]: token::State
