/// [`FuturesUnordered`] can be filled by [`collect`](Iterator::collect)ing an
/// iterator of futures into a [`FuturesUnordered`], or by
/// [`push`](FuturesUnordered::push)ing futures onto an existing
/// [`FuturesUnordered`]. When new futures are added,
/// [`poll_next`](Stream::poll_next) must be called in order to begin receiving
/// wake-ups for new futures.
///
/// Note that you can create a ready-made [`FuturesUnordered`] via the

/// with the [`FuturesUnordered::new`] constructor.

// FuturesUnordered is implemented using two linked lists. One which links all
// futures managed by a `FuturesUnordered` and one that tracks futures that have
// been scheduled for polling. The first linked list allows for thread safe
// insertion of nodes at the head as well as forward iteration, but is otherwise
// not thread safe and is only accessed by the thread that owns the
// `FuturesUnordered` value for any other operations. The second linked list is
// an implementation of the intrusive MPSC queue algorithm described by
// 1024cores.net.
//
// When a future is submitted to the set, a task is allocated and inserted in
// both linked lists. The next call to `poll_next` will (eventually) see this
// task and call `poll` on the future.
//
// Before a managed future is polled, the current context's waker is replaced
// with one that is aware of the specific future being run. This ensures that
// wake-up notifications generated by that specific future are visible to
// `FuturesUnordered`. When a wake-up notification is received, the task is
// inserted into the ready to run queue, so that its future can be polled later.
//
// Each task is wrapped in an `Arc` and thereby atomically reference counted.
// Also, each task contains an `AtomicBool` which acts as a flag that indicates
// whether the task is currently inserted in the atomic queue. When a wake-up
// notification is received, the task will only be inserted into the ready to
// run queue if it isn't inserted already.
