/// # Panics
///
/// This function panics if `period` is zero.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::time::{self, Duration};
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
/// let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_millis(10));
///
/// interval.tick().await; // ticks immediately

///
/// A simple example using `interval` to execute a task every two seconds.
///
/// The difference between `interval` and [`sleep`] is that an [`Interval`]
/// measures the time since the last tick, which means that [`.tick().await`]
/// may wait for a shorter time than the duration specified 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
/// would only be executed once every three seconds, and not every two
/// seconds.

/// ```
/// use tokio::time;

/// # Panics
///
/// This function panics if `period` is zero.

/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::time::{interval_at, Duration, Instant};
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
/// let start = Instant::now() + Duration::from_millis(50);
/// let mut interval = interval_at(start, Duration::from_millis(10));

/// ```
/// Defines the behavior of an [`Interval`] when it misses a tick.
///
/// Sometimes, an [`Interval`]'s tick is missed. For example, consider the
/// following:
///
/// ```
/// use tokio::time::{self, Duration};
/// # async fn task_that_takes_one_to_three_millis() {}
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
/// // ticks every 2 seconds
/// let mut interval = time::interval(Duration::from_millis(2));
/// for _ in 0..5 {
/// interval.tick().await;
/// // if this takes more than 2 milliseconds, a tick will be delayed
/// task_that_takes_one_to_three_millis().await;
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Generally, a tick is missed if too much time is spent without calling
/// [`Interval::tick()`].
///
/// By default, when a tick is missed, [`Interval`] fires ticks as quickly as it
/// can until it is "caught up" in time to where it should be.
/// `MissedTickBehavior` can be used to specify a different behavior for
/// [`Interval`] to exhibit. Each variant represents a different strategy.
///
/// Note that because the executor cannot guarantee exact precision with timers,
/// these strategies will only apply when the delay is greater than 5
/// milliseconds.
/// Interval returned by [`interval`] and [`interval_at`].
///
/// This type allows you to wait on a sequence of instants with a certain
/// duration between each instant. Unlike calling [`sleep`] in a loop, this lets
/// you count the time spent between the calls to [`sleep`] as well.
///
/// An `Interval` can be turned into a `Stream` with [`IntervalStream`].
///
/// [`IntervalStream`]: https://docs.rs/tokio-stream/latest/tokio_stream/wrappers/struct.IntervalStream.html
/// [`sleep`]: crate::time::sleep
