//! Customization of where and how the generation lock works.
//!
//! By default, all the [`ArcSwapAny`](../struct.ArcSwapAny.html) instances share the same
//! generation lock. This is to save space in them (they have the same size as a single pointer),
//! because the default lock is quite a large data structure (it's sharded, to prevent too much
//! contention between different threads). This has the disadvantage that a lock on one instance
//! influences another instance.
//!
//! The things in this module allow customizing how the lock behaves. The default one is
//! [`Global`](struct.Global.html). If you want to use independent but unsharded lock, use the
//! [`PrivateUnsharded`](struct.PrivateUnsharded.html) (or the
//! [`IndependentArcSwap`](../type.IndependentArcSwap.html) type alias).
//!
//! Or you can implement your own lock, but you probably should study the internals of the library
//! first.
//!
//! # Not Implemented Yet
//!
//! These variants would probably make sense, but haven't been written yet:
//!
//! * A lock storage that is shared, but only between a certain group of pointers. It could be
//!   either as a reference (but then each `ArcSwap` would get a bit bigger), or a macro that could
//!   generate an independent but global storage.
