    //! A "once initialization" primitive
    //!
    //! This primitive is meant to be used to run one-time initialization. An
    //! example use case would be for initializing an FFI library.

    // A "once" is a relatively simple primitive, and it's also typically provided
    // by the OS as well (see `pthread_once` or `InitOnceExecuteOnce`). The OS
    // primitives, however, tend to have surprising restrictions, such as the Unix
    // one doesn't allow an argument to be passed to the function.
    //
    // As a result, we end up implementing it ourselves in the standard library.
    // This also gives us the opportunity to optimize the implementation a bit which
    // should help the fast path on call sites. Consequently, let's explain how this
    // primitive works now!
    //
    // So to recap, the guarantees of a Once are that it will call the
    // initialization closure at most once, and it will never return until the one
    // that's running has finished running. This means that we need some form of
    // blocking here while the custom callback is running at the very least.
    // Additionally, we add on the restriction of **poisoning**. Whenever an
    // initialization closure panics, the Once enters a "poisoned" state which means
    // that all future calls will immediately panic as well.
    //
    // So to implement this, one might first reach for a `StaticMutex`, but those
    // unfortunately need to be deallocated (e.g. call `destroy()`) to free memory
    // on all OSes (some of the BSDs allocate memory for mutexes). It also gets a
    // lot harder with poisoning to figure out when the mutex needs to be
    // deallocated because it's not after the closure finishes, but after the first
    // successful closure finishes.
    //
    // All in all, this is instead implemented with atomics and lock-free
    // operations! Whee! Each `Once` has one word of atomic state, and this state is
    // CAS'd on to determine what to do. There are four possible state of a `Once`:
    //
    // * Incomplete - no initialization has run yet, and no thread is currently
    //                using the Once.
    // * Poisoned - some thread has previously attempted to initialize the Once, but
    //              it panicked, so the Once is now poisoned. There are no other
    //              threads currently accessing this Once.
    // * Running - some thread is currently attempting to run initialization. It may
    //             succeed, so all future threads need to wait for it to finish.
    //             Note that this state is accompanied with a payload, described
    //             below.
    // * Complete - initialization has completed and all future calls should finish
    //              immediately.
    //
    // With 4 states we need 2 bits to encode this, and we use the remaining bits
    // in the word we have allocated as a queue of threads waiting for the thread
    // responsible for entering the RUNNING state. This queue is just a linked list
    // of Waiter nodes which is monotonically increasing in size. Each node is
    // allocated on the stack, and whenever the running closure finishes it will
    // consume the entire queue and notify all waiters they should try again.
    //
    // You'll find a few more details in the implementation, but that's the gist of
    // it!

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
