| <p>This function is the dual for the <code>Stream::fold()</code> adapter: while |
| <code>Stream::fold()</code> reduces a <code>Stream</code> to one single value, <code>unfold()</code> creates a |
| <code>Stream</code> from a seed value.</p> |
| <p><code>unfold()</code> will call the provided closure with the provided seed, then wait |
| for the returned <code>Future</code> to complete with <code>(a, b)</code>. It will then yield the |
| value <code>a</code>, and use <code>b</code> as the next internal state.</p> |
| <p>If the closure returns <code>None</code> instead of <code>Some(Future)</code>, then the <code>unfold()</code> |
| will stop producing items and return <code>Poll::Ready(None)</code> in future |
| calls to <code>poll()</code>.</p> |
| <p>This function can typically be used when wanting to go from the “world of |
| futures” to the “world of streams”: the provided closure can build a |
| <code>Future</code> using other library functions working on futures, and <code>unfold()</code> |
| will turn it into a <code>Stream</code> by repeating the operation.</p> |
