-
-`critical-section` supports [`loom`] by enabling the `std` feature and passing `--cfg loom` as `RUSTFLAGS` (either through `.cargo/config.toml`, or through the environment variable).
-This implementation is identical to the normal `std` implementation, but uses `loom` synchronization primitives instead.

 If you're writing a library intended to be portable across many targets, simply add a dependency on `critical-section`
