<p>The returned handle implements the <code>Send</code> and <code>'static</code> bounds and may also
be cheaply cloned. This is useful for squirreling away the handle into a
location which is then later signaled that a future can make progress.</p>
<p>Implementations of the <code>Future</code> trait typically use this function if they
would otherwise perform a blocking operation. When something isn't ready
yet, this <code>current</code> function is called to acquire a handle to the current
task, and then the future arranges it such that when the blocking operation
otherwise finishes (perhaps in the background) it will <code>notify</code> the
returned handle.</p>
<p>It's sometimes necessary to pass extra information to the task when
unparking it, so that the task knows something about <em>why</em> it was woken.
See the <code>FutureQueue</code> documentation for details on how to do this.</p>
<h1 id="panics" class="section-header"><a href="#panics">Panics</a></h1>
<p>This function will panic if a task is not currently being executed. That
is, this method can be dangerous to call outside of an implementation of
<code>poll</code>.</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>)
