-/// If actively spinning for a long time is required, e.g. because code polls a non-blocking API,
-/// calling [`std::thread::yield_now`] or [`std::thread::sleep`] may be the best option.
+/// A common use case for `spin_loop_hint` is implementing bounded optimistic spinning in a CAS

+/// recommended that the spin loop is terminated after a finite amount of iterations and an
