//! Thread-ID: get a unique ID for the current thread.
//!
//! For diagnostics and debugging it can often be useful to get an ID that is
//! different for every thread. This crate provides that functionality.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use std::thread;
//! use thread_id;
//!
//! thread::spawn(move || {
//!     println!("spawned thread has id {}", thread_id::get());
//! });
//!
//! println!("main thread has id {}", thread_id::get());
//! ```
