//! gRPC C Core binds a call to a completion queue, all the related readiness
//! will be forwarded to the completion queue. This module utilizes the mechanism
//! and using `Kicker` to wake up completion queue.
//!
//! Apparently, to minimize context switch, it's better to bind the future to the
//! same completion queue as its inner call. Hence method `Executor::spawn` is provided.
