+/// A common use of this feature is to poison shared resources when writing
+/// unsafe code, by checking `panicking` when the `drop` is called.
+///
+/// This is usually not needed when writing safe code, as [`Mutex`es][Mutex]
+/// already poison themselves when a thread panics while holding the lock.
+///
+/// This can also be used in multithreaded applications, in order to send a
+/// message to other threads warning that a thread has panicked (e.g. for
+/// monitoring purposes).
