A lightweight async prelude.

This crate is a subset of [futures] that compiles an order of magnitude faster, fixes minor
warts in its API, fills in some obvious gaps, and removes almost all unsafe code from it.

In short, this crate aims to be more enjoyable than [futures] but still fully compatible with
it.

## Examples

```rust
use futures_lite::future;

fn main() {
    future::block_on(async {
        println!("Hello world!");
    })
}
```
