/// A lock-free concurrent object pool.
///
/// Slabs provide pre-allocated storage for many instances of a single type. But, when working with
/// heap allocated objects, the advantages of a slab are lost, as the memory allocated for the
/// object is freed when the object is removed from the slab. With a pool, we can instead reuse
/// this memory for objects being added to the pool in the future, therefore reducing memory
/// fragmentation and avoiding additional allocations.
///
/// This type implements a lock-free concurrent pool, indexed by `usize`s. The items stored in this
/// type need to implement [`Clear`] and `Default`.
///
/// The `Pool` type shares similar semantics to [`Slab`] when it comes to sharing across threads
/// and storing mutable shared data. The biggest difference is there are no [`Slab::insert`] and
/// [`Slab::take`] analouges for the `Pool` type. Instead new items are added to the pool by using
/// the [`Pool::create`] method, and marked for clearing by the [`Pool::clear`] method.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Add an entry to the pool, returning an index:
/// ```
/// # use sharded_slab::Pool;
/// let pool: Pool<String> = Pool::new();
///
/// let key = pool.create_with(|item| item.push_str("hello world")).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(pool.get(key).unwrap(), String::from("hello world"));
/// ```
///
/// Create a new pooled item, returning a guard that allows mutable access:
/// ```
/// # use sharded_slab::Pool;
/// let pool: Pool<String> = Pool::new();
///
/// let mut guard = pool.create().unwrap();
/// let key = guard.key();
/// guard.push_str("hello world");
///
/// drop(guard); // release the guard, allowing immutable access.
/// assert_eq!(pool.get(key).unwrap(), String::from("hello world"));
/// ```
///
/// Pool entries can be cleared by calling [`Pool::clear`]. This marks the entry to
/// be cleared when the guards referencing to it are dropped.
/// ```
/// # use sharded_slab::Pool;
/// let pool: Pool<String> = Pool::new();
///
/// let key = pool.create_with(|item| item.push_str("hello world")).unwrap();
///
/// // Mark this entry to be cleared.
/// pool.clear(key);
///
/// // The cleared entry is no longer available in the pool
/// assert!(pool.get(key).is_none());
/// ```
/// # Configuration

/// Both `Pool` and [`Slab`] share the same configuration mechanism. See [crate level documentation][config-doc]
/// for more details.
