///
/// Unlike non-scoped threads, scoped threads can borrow non-`'static` data,
/// as the scope guarantees all threads will be joined at the end of the scope.
///
/// All threads spawned within the scope that haven't been manually joined
/// will be automatically joined before this function returns.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// If any of the automatically joined threads panicked, this function will panic.
///
/// If you want to handle panics from spawned threads,
/// [`join`][ScopedJoinHandle::join] them before the end of the scope.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
///
/// let mut a = vec![1, 2, 3];
/// let mut x = 0;
///
/// thread::scope(|s| {
///     s.spawn(|| {
///         println!("hello from the first scoped thread");

///         x += a[0] + a[2];

/// # Lifetimes
///
/// Scoped threads involve two lifetimes: `'scope` and `'env`.
///
/// The `'scope` lifetime represents the lifetime of the scope itself.
/// That is: the time during which new scoped threads may be spawned,
/// and also the time during which they might still be running.
/// Once this lifetime ends, all scoped threads are joined.
/// This lifetime starts within the `scope` function, before `f` (the argument to `scope`) starts.
/// It ends after `f` returns and all scoped threads have been joined, but before `scope` returns.
///
/// The `'env` lifetime represents the lifetime of whatever is borrowed by the scoped threads.
/// This lifetime must outlast the call to `scope`, and thus cannot be smaller than `'scope`.
/// It can be as small as the call to `scope`, meaning that anything that outlives this call,
/// such as local variables defined right before the scope, can be borrowed by the scoped threads.
///
/// The `'env: 'scope` bound is part of the definition of the `Scope` type.
