//! A light-weight lock guarded by an atomic boolean.
//!
//! Most efficient when contention is low, acquiring the lock is a single
//! atomic swap, and releasing it just 1 more atomic swap.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use std::sync::Arc;
//! use try_lock::TryLock;
//!
//! // a thing we want to share
//! struct Widget {
//!     name: String,
//! }
//!
//! // lock it up!
//! let widget1 = Arc::new(TryLock::new(Widget {
//!     name: "Spanner".into(),
//! }));
//!
//! let widget2 = widget1.clone();
//!
//!
//! // mutate the widget
//! let mut locked = widget1.try_lock().expect("example isn't locked yet");
//! locked.name.push_str(" Bundle");
//!
//! // hands off, buddy
//! let not_locked = widget2.try_lock();
//! assert!(not_locked.is_none(), "widget1 has the lock");
//!
//! // ok, you can have it
//! drop(locked);
//!
//! let locked2 = widget2.try_lock().expect("widget1 lock is released");
