crossbeam_channel and async_channel have more efficient and more well-tested single-item channels than this crate does. From this point on, this crate is deprecated.
The orphan-crippler crate is designed to assist in building abstractions where work is offloaded to another
thread, for reasons such as blocking or OS-specific threads. For this reason, orphan-crippler implements the
Two-Way Oneshot (two) channel type, that allows one to send data to another thread and get more data in
response.
The optional parking_lot feature replaces the usual std::sync::Mutex usage in this crate with those from
the parking_lot crate. This pulls in a handful of other dependencies and is only really recommended if you are
already using parking_lot elsewhere in your application.
