/// Combines two different futures, streams, or sinks having the same associated types into a single type.
///
/// This type implements common asynchronous traits such as [`Future`] and those in Tokio.
///
/// [`Future`]: std::future::Future
///
/// # Example
///
/// The following code will not work:
///
/// ```compile_fail
/// # fn some_condition() -> bool { true }
/// # async fn some_async_function() -> u32 { 10 }
/// # async fn other_async_function() -> u32 { 20 }
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let result = if some_condition() {
///         some_async_function()
///     } else {
///         other_async_function() // <- Will print: "`if` and `else` have incompatible types"
///     };
///
///     println!("Result is {}", result.await);
/// }
/// ```
///
// This is because although the output types for both futures is the same, the exact future
// types are different, but the compiler must be able to choose a single type for the
// `result` variable.
///
/// When the output type is the same, we can wrap each future in `Either` to avoid the
/// issue:
///
/// ```
/// use tokio_util::either::Either;
/// # fn some_condition() -> bool { true }
/// # async fn some_async_function() -> u32 { 10 }
/// # async fn other_async_function() -> u32 { 20 }
///
/// #[tokio::main]
/// async fn main() {
///     let result = if some_condition() {
///         Either::Left(some_async_function())
///     } else {
///         Either::Right(other_async_function())
///     };
///
///     let value = result.await;
///     println!("Result is {}", value);
///     # assert_eq!(value, 10);
