-//! A simple example using [`interval`] to execute a task every two seconds.
-//!
-//! The difference between [`interval`] and [`sleep`] is that an

-//! for the interval if some time has passed between calls to `.tick().await`.
-//!
-//! If the tick in the example below was replaced with [`sleep`], the task

-//! seconds.

-//!     println!("hello");
-//!     time::sleep(time::Duration::from_secs(1)).await
