Edelcrantz

This is a small crate for writing network services, with the following particular features:

• Asynchronous communication of serde-serializable types.
• Symmetric / peer-to-peer: no distinguished clients or servers.
• Pipelined: many requests allowed in flight at once.
• Support for "one-way" requests with no paired responses.
• Async-ecosystem agnostic: doesn't drag in async_std or tokio (except as dev-dependencies for testing).

There is no integrated event loop nor task spawning: you are expected to call methods on this crate's main Connection type from your own tasks or async functions.
