* [`Sync`][2]: a type `T` is `Sync` if it is safe to move a `&T` across a thread
boundary.
Both traits are not to be implemented. They are implemented automatically when
the compiler determines it’s appropriate.
`Send` and `Sync` are [unsafe traits][3]. The compiler will automatically derive them for your types
as long as they only contain `Send` and `Sync` types. You can also implement them manually when you
know it is valid.
