 //! `futures::task::AtomicWaker` extracted into its own crate.
+//!
+//! # Features
+//!
+//! This crate adds a feature, `portable-atomic`, which uses a polyfill
+//! from the [`portable-atomic`] crate in order to provide functionality
+//! to targets without atomics. See the [`README`] for the [`portable-atomic`]
+//! crate for more information on how to use it on single-threaded targets.
