    /// the current task is scheduled to be woken up when it's possible to make
    /// further progress by `poll`ing again. The wake up is performed using
    /// `cx.waker()`, a handle for waking up the current task.

        ///
        /// This function returns:

        /// - [`Poll::Ready(val)`] with the result `val` of this future if it
        ///   finished successfully.
        ///
        /// Once a future has finished, clients should not `poll` it again.
        ///
        /// When a future is not ready yet, `poll` returns `Poll::Pending` and
        /// stores a clone of the [`LocalWaker`] to be woken once the future can
        /// make progress. For example, a future waiting for a socket to become
        /// readable would call `.clone()` on the [`LocalWaker`] and store it.
        /// When a signal arrives elsewhere indicating that the socket is readable,
        /// `[LocalWaker::wake]` is called and the socket future's task is awoken.
        /// Once a task has been woken up, it should attempt to `poll` the future
        /// again, which may or may not produce a final value.
        ///
        /// Note that on multiple calls to `poll`, only the most recent
        /// [`LocalWaker`] passed to `poll` should be scheduled to receive a
        /// wakeup.
        ///
        /// # Runtime characteristics
        ///
        /// Futures alone are *inert*; they must be *actively* `poll`ed to make
        /// progress, meaning that each time the current task is woken up, it should
        /// actively re-`poll` pending futures that it still has an interest in.
        ///
        /// The `poll` function is not called repeatedly in a tight loop-- instead,
        /// it should only be called when the future indicates that it is ready to
        /// make progress (by calling `wake()`). If you're familiar with the
        /// `poll(2)` or `select(2)` syscalls on Unix it's worth noting that futures
        /// typically do *not* suffer the same problems of "all wakeups must poll
        /// all events"; they are more like `epoll(4)`.
        ///
        /// An implementation of `poll` should strive to return quickly, and must
        /// *never* block. Returning quickly prevents unnecessarily clogging up
        /// threads or event loops. If it is known ahead of time that a call to
        /// `poll` may end up taking awhile, the work should be offloaded to a
        /// thread pool (or something similar) to ensure that `poll` can return
        /// quickly.
        ///
        /// # [`LocalWaker`], [`Waker`] and thread-safety
        ///
        /// The `poll` function takes a [`LocalWaker`], an object which knows how to
        /// awaken the current task. [`LocalWaker`] is not `Send` nor `Sync`, so in
        /// order to make thread-safe futures the [`LocalWaker::into_waker`] method
        /// should be used to convert the [`LocalWaker`] into a thread-safe version.
        /// [`LocalWaker::wake`] implementations have the ability to be more
        /// efficient, however, so when thread safety is not necessary,
        /// [`LocalWaker`] should be preferred.
        ///
        /// # Panics
        ///
        /// Once a future has completed (returned `Ready` from `poll`),
        /// then any future calls to `poll` may panic, block forever, or otherwise
        /// cause bad behavior. The `Future` trait itself provides no guarantees
        /// about the behavior of `poll` after a future has completed.

## 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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g. `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
