//! Raw executor.

//! This module exposes "raw" Executor and Task structs for more low level control.
//!
//! ## WARNING: here be dragons!
//!
//! Using this module requires respecting subtle safety contracts. If you can, prefer using the safe
//! [executor wrappers](crate::Executor) and the [`embassy_executor::task`](embassy_executor_macros::task) macro, which are fully safe.
