returning a handle representing the completion of the future.</p>
<p>The <code>SpawnHandle</code> returned is a future that is a proxy for <code>future</code> itself.
When <code>future</code> completes on <code>executor</code> then the <code>SpawnHandle</code> will itself be
resolved. Internally <code>SpawnHandle</code> contains a <code>oneshot</code> channel and is
thus not safe to send across threads.</p>
<p>The <code>future</code> will be canceled if the <code>SpawnHandle</code> is dropped. If this is
not desired then the <code>SpawnHandle::forget</code> function can be used to continue
running the future to completion.</p>
<h1 id="panics" class="section-header"><a href="#panics">Panics</a></h1>
<p>This function will panic if the instance of <code>Spawn</code> provided is unable to
spawn the <code>future</code> provided.</p>
<p>If the provided instance of <code>Spawn</code> does not actually run <code>future</code> to
completion, then the returned handle may panic when polled. Typically this
is not a problem, though, as most instances of <code>Spawn</code> will run futures to
completion.</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>)
