/*
* Document-class: Fiber::Scheduler
*
* This is not an existing class, but documentation of the interface that Scheduler
* object should comply to in order to be used as argument to Fiber.scheduler and handle non-blocking
* fibers. See also the "Non-blocking fibers" section in Fiber class docs for explanations
* of some concepts.
*
* Scheduler's behavior and usage are expected to be as follows:
*
* * When the execution in the non-blocking Fiber reaches some blocking operation (like
* sleep, wait for a process, or a non-ready I/O), it calls some of the scheduler's
* hook methods, listed below.
* * Scheduler somehow registers what the current fiber is waiting on, and yields control
* to other fibers with Fiber.yield (so the fiber would be suspended while expecting its
* wait to end, and other fibers in the same thread can perform)
* * At the end of the current thread execution, the scheduler's method #scheduler_close is called
* * The scheduler runs into a wait loop, checking all the blocked fibers (which it has
* registered on hook calls) and resuming them when the awaited resource is ready
* (e.g. I/O ready or sleep time elapsed).
*
* This way concurrent execution will be achieved transparently for every
* individual Fiber's code.
*
* Scheduler implementations are provided by gems, like
* Async[https://github.com/socketry/async].
*
* Hook methods are:
*
* * #io_wait, #io_read, #io_write, #io_pread, #io_pwrite, and #io_select, #io_close
* * #process_wait
* * #kernel_sleep
* * #timeout_after
* * #address_resolve
* * #block and #unblock
* * (the list is expanded as Ruby developers make more methods having non-blocking calls)
*
* When not specified otherwise, the hook implementations are mandatory: if they are not
* implemented, the methods trying to call hook will fail. To provide backward compatibility,
* in the future hooks will be optional (if they are not implemented, due to the scheduler
* being created for the older Ruby version, the code which needs this hook will not fail,
* and will just behave in a blocking fashion).
*
* It is also strongly recommended that the scheduler implements the #fiber method, which is
* delegated to by Fiber.schedule.
*
* Sample _toy_ implementation of the scheduler can be found in Ruby's code, in
* test/fiber/scheduler.rb
*
