//!
//! This is a safe Rust async executor.
//!
//! It is part of [`safina`](https://crates.io/crates/safina), a safe async runtime.
//!
//! # Features
//! - `forbid(unsafe_code)`
//! - Depends only on `std`
//! - Good test coverage (100%)
//!
//! # Limitations
//! - Requires Rust `nightly`, for
//!   [OnceCell](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/lazy/struct.OnceCell.html)
//!   and
//!   [Wake trait](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/trait.Wake.html)
//! - Allocates memory
//! - Not optimized
//!
//! # Documentation
//! https://docs.rs/safina-executor
//!
//! # Examples
//! ```rust
//! # fn f() {
//! safina_executor::increase_threads_to(1);
//! let (sender, receiver) = std::sync::mpsc::channel();
//! safina_executor::spawn(async move {
//!     sender.send(()).unwrap();
//! });
//! receiver.recv().unwrap();
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! ```rust
//! # async fn prepare_request() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { Ok(()) }
//! # async fn execute_request() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> { Ok(()) }
//! # fn f() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
//! std::thread::spawn(safina_executor::work);
//! let result = safina_executor::block_on(async {
//!     prepare_request().await?;
//!     execute_request().await
//! })?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Alternatives
//! - [smol](https://crates.io/crates/smol)
//!   - popular
//!   - Contains generous amounts of `unsafe` code
//! - [async-std](https://crates.io/crates/async-std)
//!   - popular
//!   - Contains generous amounts of `unsafe` code
//! - [tokio](https://crates.io/crates/tokio)
//!   - very popular
//!   - Fast, internally complicated, and full of `unsafe`
//! - [nostd_async](https://crates.io/crates/nostd_async)
//!
//! # Changelog
//! - v0.1.2 - Let callers pass futures to `spawn` and `block_on` without
//!   using `Box::pin`.
//!   Add `spawn_unpin` and `block_on_unpin` for folks who need to avoid allocating.
//!   so callers don't have to.
//! - v0.1.1 - Fix badge and update readme
//! - v0.1.0 - Renamed from `safina`
//!
//! # TO DO
//! - DONE - Implement `spawn`
//! - DONE - Implement `block_on`
//! - DONE - Implement `increase_threads_to`
//! - DONE - Drop finished futures
//! - DONE - Handle task panic
//! - DONE - Add `stop_threads`, `allow_threads`, and `increase_threads_to`.
//! - DONE - Add tests
//! - DONE - Add docs
//! - DONE - Publish on crates.io
//! - DONE - Add an #[async_test] macro
//! - Add a stress test
//! - Add a benchmark
//! - Make a version of the crate that uses
//!   unsafe [`once_cell`](https://crates.io/crates/once_cell)
//!   and unsafe [`RawWaker`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/task/struct.RawWaker.html)
//!   and builds with Rust `stable`.
//! - Add an #[async_main] macro
//!
//! # Release Process
//! 1. Edit `Cargo.toml` and bump version number.
//! 1. Run `./release.sh`
