/// An owned permission to join on a thread (block on its termination).
///
/// A `JoinHandle` *detaches* the associated thread when it is dropped, which
/// means that there is no longer any handle to the thread and no way to `join`
/// on it.
///
/// Due to platform restrictions, it is not possible to [`Clone`] this
/// handle: the ability to join a thread is a uniquely-owned permission.
///
/// This `struct` is created by the [`thread::spawn`] function and the
/// [`thread::Builder::spawn`] method.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Creation from [`thread::spawn`]:
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
///
/// let join_handle: thread::JoinHandle<_> = thread::spawn(|| {
///     // some work here
/// });
/// ```
///
/// Creation from [`thread::Builder::spawn`]:
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
///
/// let builder = thread::Builder::new();
///
/// let join_handle: thread::JoinHandle<_> = builder.spawn(|| {
///     // some work here
/// }).unwrap();
/// ```
///
/// A thread being detached and outliving the thread that spawned it:
///
/// ```no_run
/// use std::thread;
/// use std::time::Duration;

/// let original_thread = thread::spawn(|| {
///     let _detached_thread = thread::spawn(|| {
///         // Here we sleep to make sure that the first thread returns before.
///         thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(10));
///         // This will be called, even though the JoinHandle is dropped.
///         println!("♫ Still alive ♫");
///     });
/// });

/// original_thread.join().expect("The thread being joined has panicked");
/// println!("Original thread is joined.");
