<p>The <code>stream</code> will be canceled if the <code>SpawnHandle</code> is dropped.</p>
<p>The <code>SpawnHandle</code> returned is a stream that is a proxy for <code>stream</code> itself.
When <code>stream</code> has additional items available, then the <code>SpawnHandle</code>
will have those same items available.</p>
<p>An unbounded buffer is used, which means that values will be buffered as
fast as <code>stream</code> can produce them, without any backpressure. Therefore, if
<code>stream</code> is an infinite stream, it can use an unbounded amount of memory, and
potentially hog CPU resources. In particular, if <code>stream</code> is infinite
and doesn't ever yield (by returning <code>Async::NotReady</code> from <code>poll</code>), it
will result in an infinite loop.</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>)
