/// Unlike `Mutex`, a `SpinLock` will not voluntarily yield its CPU time until the resource is
/// available and will instead keep spinning until the resource is acquired. For the vast majority
/// of cases, `Mutex` is a better choice than `SpinLock`. If a `SpinLock` must be used then users
/// should try to do as little work as possible while holding the `SpinLock` and avoid any sort of
/// blocking at all costs as it can severely penalize performance.
///
/// # Poisoning
///
/// This `SpinLock` does not implement lock poisoning so it is possible for threads to access
/// poisoned data if a thread panics while holding the lock. If lock poisoning is needed, it can be
/// implemented by wrapping the `SpinLock` in a new type that implements poisoning. See the
/// implementation of `std::sync::Mutex` for an example of how to do this.
