+ThreadBound is a wrapper that binds a value to its original thread. The wrapper
+gets to be [`Sync`] and [`Send`] but only the original thread on which the
+ThreadBound was constructed can retrieve the underlying value.
+
+[`Sync`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Sync.html
+[`Send`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/marker/trait.Send.html

+### Example
+
+```rust
+extern crate threadbound;
+
+use std::marker::PhantomData;
+use std::rc::Rc;
+use std::sync::Arc;
+use threadbound::ThreadBound;
+
+// Neither Send nor Sync. Maybe the index points into a
+// thread-local interner.
+#[derive(Copy, Clone)]
+struct Span {
+ index: u32,
+ marker: PhantomData<Rc<()>>,
+}
+
+// Error types are always supposed to be Send and Sync.
+// We can use ThreadBound to make it so.
+struct Error {
+ span: ThreadBound<Span>,
+ message: String,
+}
+
+fn main() {
+ let err = Error {
+ span: ThreadBound::new(Span {
+ index: 99,
+ marker: PhantomData,
+ }),
+ message: "fearless concurrency".to_owned(),
+ };
+
+ // Original thread can see the contents.
+ assert_eq!(err.span.get_ref().unwrap().index, 99);
+
+ let err = Arc::new(err);
+ let err2 = err.clone();
+ std::thread::spawn(move || {
+ // Other threads cannot get access. Maybe they use
+ // a default value or a different codepath.
+ assert!(err2.span.get_ref().is_none());
+ });
+
+ // Original thread can still see the contents.
+ assert_eq!(err.span.get_ref().unwrap().index, 99);
+}
