/// Previously this was the only "execute once" synchronization in `std`.
/// Other libraries implemented novel synchronizing types with `Once`, like
/// [`OnceLock<T>`] or [`LazyLock<T, F>`], before those were added to `std`.
/// `OnceLock<T>` in particular supersedes `Once` in functionality and should
/// be preferred for the common case where the `Once` is associated with data.
///
/// This type can only be constructed with [`Once::new()`].
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::sync::Once;
///
/// static START: Once = Once::new();
///
/// START.call_once(|| {
///     // run initialization here
/// });
