+//! Epoch-based memory reclamation.
+//!
+//! An interesting problem concurrent collections deal with comes from the remove operation.
+//! Suppose that a thread removes an element from a lock-free map, while another thread is reading
+//! that same element at the same time. The first thread must wait until the second thread stops
+//! reading the element. Only then it is safe to destruct it.
+//!
+//! Programming languages that come with garbage collectors solve this problem trivially. The
+//! garbage collector will destruct the removed element when no thread can hold a reference to it
+//! anymore.
+//!
+//! This crate implements a basic memory reclamation mechanism, which is based on epochs. When an
+//! element gets removed from a concurrent collection, it is inserted into a pile of garbage and
+//! marked with the current epoch. Every time a thread accesses a collection, it checks the current
+//! epoch, attempts to increment it, and destructs some garbage that became so old that no thread
+//! can be referencing it anymore.
+//!
+//! That is the general mechanism behind epoch-based memory reclamation, but the details are a bit
+//! more complicated. Anyhow, memory reclamation is designed to be fully automatic and something
+//! users of concurrent collections don't have to worry much about.
+//!
+//! # Pointers
+//!
+//! Concurrent collections are built using atomic pointers. This module provides [`Atomic`], which
+//! is just a shared atomic pointer to a heap-allocated object. Loading an [`Atomic`] yields a
+//! [`Shared`], which is an epoch-protected pointer through which the loaded object can be safely
+//! read.
+//!
+//! # Pinning
+//!
+//! Before an [`Atomic`] can be loaded, a participant must be [`pin`]ned. By pinning a participant
+//! we declare that any object that gets removed from now on must not be destructed just
+//! yet. Garbage collection of newly removed objects is suspended until the participant gets
+//! unpinned.
+//!
+//! # Garbage
+//!
+//! Objects that get removed from concurrent collections must be stashed away until all currently
+//! pinned participants get unpinned. Such objects can be stored into a thread-local or global
+//! storage, where they are kept until the right time for their destruction comes.
+//!
+//! There is a global shared instance of garbage queue. You can [`defer`](Guard::defer) the execution of an
+//! arbitrary function until the global epoch is advanced enough. Most notably, concurrent data
+//! structures may defer the deallocation of an object.
+//!
+//! # APIs
+//!
+//! For majority of use cases, just use the default garbage collector by invoking [`pin`]. If you
+//! want to create your own garbage collector, use the [`Collector`] API.
