//! Selection over an array of ports
//!
//! This module contains the implementation machinery necessary for selecting
//! over a number of ports. One large goal of this module is to provide an
//! efficient interface to selecting over any port of any type.
//!
//! This is achieved through an architecture of a "port set" in which ports are
//! added to a set and then the entire set is waited on at once. The set can be
//! waited on multiple times to prevent re-adding each port to the set.
//!
//! Usage of this module is currently encouraged to go through the use of the
//! `select!` macro. This macro allows naturally binding of variables to the
//! received values of ports in a much more natural syntax then usage of the
//! `Select` structure directly.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! let (mut p1, c1) = Chan::new();
//! let (mut p2, c2) = Chan::new();
//!
//! c1.send(1);
//! c2.send(2);
//!
//! select! (
//!     val = p1.recv() => {
//!         assert_eq!(val, 1);
//!     }
//!     val = p2.recv() => {
//!         assert_eq!(val, 2);
//!     }
//! )
//! ```
