<div class='docblock'><p>A Futures channel-like utility to signal when a value is wanted.</p>
<p>Futures are supposed to be lazy, and only starting work if <code>Future::poll</code>
is called. The same is true of <code>Stream</code>s, but when using a channel as
a <code>Stream</code>, it can be hard to know if the receiver is ready for the next
value.</p>
<p>Put another way, given a <code>(tx, rx)</code> from <code>futures::sync::mpsc::channel()</code>,
how can the sender (<code>tx</code>) know when the receiver (<code>rx</code>) actually wants more
work to be produced? Just because there is room in the channel buffer
doesn't mean the work would be used by the receiver.</p>
<p>This is where something like <code>want</code> comes in. Added to a channel, you can
make sure that the <code>tx</code> only creates the message and sends it when the <code>rx</code>
has <code>poll()</code> for it, and the buffer was empty.</p>

<h2>Search Tricks</h2>
<p>
Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g.
<code>fn:</code>) to restrict the search to a given type.
</p>
<p>
Accepted types are: <code>fn</code>, <code>mod</code>,
<code>struct</code>, <code>enum</code>,
<code>trait</code>, <code>type</code>, <code>macro</code>,
and <code>const</code>.
</p>
<p>
Search functions by type signature (e.g.
<code>vec -> usize</code> or <code>* -> vec</code>)
