//! This [Rust] library implements a wrapper type called [`SendWrapper`] which allows you to move around non-[`Send`] types
//! between threads, as long as you access the contained value only from within the original thread. You also have to
//! make sure that the wrapper is dropped from within the original thread. If any of these constraints is violated,
//! a panic occurs. [`SendWrapper<T>`] implements [`Send`] and [`Sync`] for any type `T`.
//!
//! The idea for this library was born in the context of a [`GTK+`]/[`gtk-rs`]-based application. [`GTK+`] applications
//! are strictly single-threaded. It is not allowed to call any [`GTK+`] method from a thread different to the main
//! thread. Consequently, all [`gtk-rs`] structs are non-[`Send`].
//!
//! Sometimes you still want to do some work in background. It is possible to enqueue [`GTK+`] calls from there to be
//! executed in the main thread [using `Glib`]. This way you can know, that the [`gtk-rs`] structs involved are only
//! accessed in the main thread and will also be dropped there. This library makes it possible that [`gtk-rs`] structs
//! can leave the main thread at all.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! ```rust
//! use send_wrapper::SendWrapper;
//! use std::rc::Rc;
//! use std::thread;
//! use std::sync::mpsc::channel;
//!
//! // This import is important if you want to use deref() or
//! // deref_mut() instead of Deref coercion.
//! use std::ops::{Deref, DerefMut};
//!
//! // Rc is a non-Send type.
//! let value = Rc::new(42);
//!
//! // We now wrap the value with `SendWrapper` (value is moved inside).
//! let wrapped_value = SendWrapper::new(value);
//!
//! // A channel allows us to move the wrapped value between threads.
//! let (sender, receiver) = channel();
//!
//! let t = thread::spawn(move || {
//!
//! // This would panic (because of dereferencing in wrong thread):
//! // let value = wrapped_value.deref();
//!
//! // Move SendWrapper back to main thread, so it can be dropped from there.
//! // If you leave this out the thread will panic because of dropping from wrong thread.
//! sender.send(wrapped_value).unwrap();
//!
//! });
//!
//! let wrapped_value = receiver.recv().unwrap();
//!
//! // Now you can use the value again.
//! let value = wrapped_value.deref();
//!
//! // alternatives for dereferencing:
//! let value = &*wrapped_value;
//! let value: &Rc<_> = &wrapped_value;
//!
//! let mut wrapped_value = wrapped_value;
//! // alternatives for mutable dereferencing:
//! let value = wrapped_value.deref_mut();
//! let value = &mut *wrapped_value;
//! let value: &mut Rc<_> = &mut wrapped_value;
//! ```
//!
//! # Features
//!
//! This crate has a single feature called `futures` that enables [`Future`] and [`Stream`] implementations for [`SendWrapper`].
//! You can enable it in `Cargo.toml` like so:
//!
//! ```toml
//! send_wrapper = { version = "...", features = ["futures"] }
//! ```
