+/// A marker trait which represents "panic safe" types in Rust.
+///
+/// This trait is implemented by default for many types and behaves similarly in
+/// terms of inference of implementation to the [`Send`] and [`Sync`] traits. The
+/// purpose of this trait is to encode what types are safe to cross a [`catch_unwind`]
+/// boundary with no fear of unwind safety.
+///
+/// [`catch_unwind`]: ../../std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html
+///
+/// ## What is unwind safety?
+///
+/// In Rust a function can "return" early if it either panics or calls a
+/// function which transitively panics. This sort of control flow is not always
+/// anticipated, and has the possibility of causing subtle bugs through a
+/// combination of two critical components:
+///
+/// 1. A data structure is in a temporarily invalid state when the thread
+/// panics.
+/// 2. This broken invariant is then later observed.
+///
+/// Typically in Rust, it is difficult to perform step (2) because catching a
+/// panic involves either spawning a thread (which in turns makes it difficult
+/// to later witness broken invariants) or using the `catch_unwind` function in this
+/// module. Additionally, even if an invariant is witnessed, it typically isn't a
+/// problem in Rust because there are no uninitialized values (like in C or C++).
+///
+/// It is possible, however, for **logical** invariants to be broken in Rust,
+/// which can end up causing behavioral bugs. Another key aspect of unwind safety
+/// in Rust is that, in the absence of `unsafe` code, a panic cannot lead to
+/// memory unsafety.
+///
+/// That was a bit of a whirlwind tour of unwind safety, but for more information
+/// about unwind safety and how it applies to Rust, see an [associated RFC][rfc].
+///
+/// [rfc]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1236-stabilize-catch-panic.md
+///
+/// ## What is `UnwindSafe`?
+///
+/// Now that we've got an idea of what unwind safety is in Rust, it's also
+/// important to understand what this trait represents. As mentioned above, one
+/// way to witness broken invariants is through the `catch_unwind` function in this
+/// module as it allows catching a panic and then re-using the environment of
+/// the closure.
+///
+/// Simply put, a type `T` implements `UnwindSafe` if it cannot easily allow
+/// witnessing a broken invariant through the use of `catch_unwind` (catching a
+/// panic). This trait is an auto trait, so it is automatically implemented for
+/// many types, and it is also structurally composed (e.g., a struct is unwind
+/// safe if all of its components are unwind safe).
+///
+/// Note, however, that this is not an unsafe trait, so there is not a succinct
+/// contract that this trait is providing. Instead it is intended as more of a
+/// "speed bump" to alert users of `catch_unwind` that broken invariants may be
+/// witnessed and may need to be accounted for.
+///
+/// ## Who implements `UnwindSafe`?
+///
+/// Types such as `&mut T` and `&RefCell<T>` are examples which are **not**
+/// unwind safe. The general idea is that any mutable state which can be shared
+/// across `catch_unwind` is not unwind safe by default. This is because it is very
+/// easy to witness a broken invariant outside of `catch_unwind` as the data is
+/// simply accessed as usual.
+///
+/// Types like `&Mutex<T>`, however, are unwind safe because they implement
+/// poisoning by default. They still allow witnessing a broken invariant, but
+/// they already provide their own "speed bumps" to do so.
+///
+/// ## When should `UnwindSafe` be used?
+///
+/// It is not intended that most types or functions need to worry about this trait.
+/// It is only used as a bound on the `catch_unwind` function and as mentioned
+/// above, the lack of `unsafe` means it is mostly an advisory. The
+/// [`AssertUnwindSafe`] wrapper struct can be used to force this trait to be
+/// implemented for any closed over variables passed to `catch_unwind`.

+
+/// A simple wrapper around a type to assert that it is unwind safe.
+///
+/// When using [`catch_unwind`] it may be the case that some of the closed over
+/// variables are not unwind safe. For example if `&mut T` is captured the
+/// compiler will generate a warning indicating that it is not unwind safe. It
+/// might not be the case, however, that this is actually a problem due to the
+/// specific usage of [`catch_unwind`] if unwind safety is specifically taken into
+/// account. This wrapper struct is useful for a quick and lightweight
+/// annotation that a variable is indeed unwind safe.
+///
+/// [`catch_unwind`]: ../../std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// One way to use `AssertUnwindSafe` is to assert that the entire closure
+/// itself is unwind safe, bypassing all checks for all variables:
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::panic::{self, AssertUnwindSafe};
+///
+/// let mut variable = 4;
+///
+/// // This code will not compile because the closure captures `&mut variable`
+/// // which is not considered unwind safe by default.
+///
+/// // panic::catch_unwind(|| {
+/// // variable += 3;
+/// // });
+///
+/// // This, however, will compile due to the `AssertUnwindSafe` wrapper
+/// let result = panic::catch_unwind(AssertUnwindSafe(|| {
+/// variable += 3;
+/// }));
+/// // ...
+/// ```
+///
+/// Wrapping the entire closure amounts to a blanket assertion that all captured
+/// variables are unwind safe. This has the downside that if new captures are
+/// added in the future, they will also be considered unwind safe. Therefore,
+/// you may prefer to just wrap individual captures, as shown below. This is
+/// more annotation, but it ensures that if a new capture is added which is not
+/// unwind safe, you will get a compilation error at that time, which will
+/// allow you to consider whether that new capture in fact represent a bug or
+/// not.
+///
+/// ```
+/// use std::panic::{self, AssertUnwindSafe};
+///
+/// let mut variable = 4;
+/// let other_capture = 3;
+///
+/// let result = {
+/// let mut wrapper = AssertUnwindSafe(&mut variable);
+/// panic::catch_unwind(move || {
+/// **wrapper += other_capture;
+/// })
+/// };
+/// // ...
+/// ```
