<p>The <a href="#tymethod.spawn"><code>spawn</code></a> function is used to submit a future to an executor. Once
submitted, the executor takes ownership of the future and becomes
responsible for driving the future to completion.</p>
<p>The strategy employed by the executor to handle the future is less defined
and is left up to the <code>Executor</code> implementation. The <code>Executor</code> instance is
expected to call <a href="https://docs.rs/futures/0.1/futures/future/trait.Future.html#tymethod.poll"><code>poll</code></a> on the future once it has been notified, however
the &quot;when&quot; and &quot;how&quot; can vary greatly.</p>
<p>For example, the executor might be a thread pool, in which case a set of
threads have already been spawned up and the future is inserted into a
queue. A thread will acquire the future and poll it.</p>
<p>The <code>Executor</code> trait is only for futures that <strong>are</strong> <code>Send</code>. These are most
common. There currently is no trait that describes executors that operate
entirely on the current thread (i.e., are able to spawn futures that are not
<code>Send</code>). Note that single threaded executors can still implement <code>Executor</code>,
but only futures that are <code>Send</code> can be spawned via the trait.</p>
<h1 id="errors" class="section-header"><a href="#errors">Errors</a></h1>
<p>The <a href="#tymethod.spawn"><code>spawn</code></a> function returns <code>Result</code> with an error type of <code>SpawnError</code>.
This error type represents the reason that the executor was unable to spawn
the future. The two current represented scenarios are:</p>
<ul>
<li>An executor being at capacity or full. As such, the executor is not able
to accept a new future. This error state is expected to be transient.</li>
<li>An executor has been shutdown and can no longer accept new futures. This
error state is expected to be permanent.</li>
</ul>
<p>If a caller encounters an at capacity error, the caller should try to shed
load. This can be as simple as dropping the future that was spawned.</p>
<p>If the caller encounters a shutdown error, the caller should attempt to
gracefully shutdown.</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>)
