94///
95/// We are free to choose how we implement these features, and we provide
96/// two options:
97///
98/// - If the `generic` feature is enabled, we implement a single timer queue,
99/// using the implementation provided by embassy-time-queue-driver.
100/// - If the `single-integrated` feature is enabled, we implement a single timer
101/// queue, using our own integrated timer implementation. Our implementation
102/// is a copy of the embassy integrated timer queue, with the addition of
103/// clearing the "owner" information upon dequeueing.
104// TODO: restore this and update the "two options" above:
105// - If the `multiple-integrated` feature is enabled, we provide a separate
106// timer queue for each executor. We store a separate timer queue for each
107// executor, and we use the scheduled task's owner to determine which queue to
108// use. This mode allows us to use less disruptive locks around the timer
109// queue, but requires more timers - one per timer queue.
