/*
 *  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
 *  <tt>test/fiber/scheduler.rb</tt>
