/// FIXME: Doc
/// Spawns a new thread without any lifetime restrictions by taking ownership
/// of the `Builder`, and returns an [`io::Result`] to its [`JoinHandle`].
///
/// The spawned thread may outlive the caller (unless the caller thread
/// is the main thread; the whole process is terminated when the main
/// thread finishes). The join handle can be used to block on
/// termination of the child thread, including recovering its panics.
///
/// This method is identical to [`thread::Builder::spawn`][`Builder::spawn`],
/// except for the relaxed lifetime bounds, which render it unsafe.
/// For a more complete documentation see [`thread::spawn`][`spawn`].
///
/// # Errors
///
/// Unlike the [`spawn`] free function, this method yields an
/// [`io::Result`] to capture any failure to create the thread at
/// the OS level.
///
/// # Panics
///
/// Panics if a thread name was set and it contained null bytes.
///
/// # Safety
///
/// The caller has to ensure that no references in the supplied thread closure
/// or its return type can outlive the spawned thread's lifetime. This can be
/// guaranteed in two ways:
///
/// - ensure that [`join`][`JoinHandle::join`] is called before any referenced
/// data is dropped
/// - use only types with `'static` lifetime bounds, i.e. those with no or only
/// `'static` references (both [`thread::Builder::spawn`][`Builder::spawn`]
/// and [`thread::spawn`][`spawn`] enforce this property statically)
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use std::thread;
///
/// let builder = thread::Builder::new();
///
/// let x = 1;
/// let thread_x = &x;
///
/// let handler = unsafe {
/// builder.spawn_unchecked(move || {
/// println!("x = {}", *thread_x);
/// }).unwrap();
/// }
///
/// // caller has to ensure `join()` is called, otherwise
/// // it is possible to access freed memory if `x` gets
/// // dropped before the thread closure is executed!
/// handler.join.unwrap();
/// ```
