<p>The most common use of this function is when constructing or destructing a data structure.</p>
<p>For example, we can use a dummy guard in the destructor of a Treiber stack because at that
point no other thread could concurrently modify the <a href="struct.Atomic.html"><code>Atomic</code></a>s we are accessing.</p>
<p>If we were to actually pin the current thread during destruction, that would just unnecessarily
delay garbage collection and incur some performance cost, so in cases like these <code>unprotected</code>
is very helpful.</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>)
