//!
//! `throttle_my_fn` is a Rust attribute macro to limit a function's number of runs over a
//! specified period of time, even when called from multiple threads.
//!
//! The primary use-case for this attribute macro is rate-limiting, e.g. to avoid
//! hammering an online service or to avoid serving too many requests over a period of
//! time.
//!
//! The macro works by rewriting the function and prefixing it with the necessary
//! book-keeping for throttling (see `Usage` below). **The resulting function is
//! thread-safe**.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! Add the dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! throttle_my_fn = "0.2"
//! ```
//!
//! Or, using `cargo add`:
//!
//! ```sh
//! $ cargo add throttle_my_fn
//! ```
//!
//! Include the macro:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use throttle_my_fn::throttle;
//! ```
//!
//! Annotate the functions you want to throttle:
//!
//! ```rust
//! #[throttle(10, Duration::from_secs(1))]
//! pub(crate) fn run_10_times_per_second(arg: &str) -> String {
//! ...
//! }
//!
//! #[throttle(1, Duration::from_millis(100))]
//! pub(crate) fn run_once_per_100_milliseconds(arg: &str) -> String {
//! ...
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Note that the function signatures are modified to wrap the return type in an `Option`,
//! like so:
//!
//! ```rust
//! pub(crate) fn run_10_times_per_second(arg: &str) -> Option<String> {
//! ...
//! }
//!
//! pub(crate) fn run_once_per_100_milliseconds(arg: &str) -> Option<String> {
//! ...
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `Option<T>` returned signifies whether the function executed or not.

///
/// **NOTE:** The function being decorated with this macro will have its return value
/// changed to be wrapped in an [std::option::Option] indicating whether the function
/// executed or not.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `times` - Number of times the function should be limited to running over `duration`.
///
/// * `duration` - The [std::time::Duration] over which the function should be allowed to
/// run `times` times.
///

/// ```
/// #[throttle(10, Duration::from_secs(1))]
