Send and await a value asynchronously

catty

Send a value synchronously and asynchronously wait for it. Catty is faster, simpler, and more lightweight than futures::oneshot, which is slightly more flexible.

Example

let (tx, rx) = catty::oneshot();
tx.send("Hello!");
assert_eq!(rx.await, Ok("Hello!"));
