+//! #### `poll_budget_available`
+//!
+//! Futures created by the tokio library functions are budget-aware and yield when there is no more
+//! budget left, but not all futures will be budget-aware. Consider future `A` that polls two inner
+//! futures `B` and `C`, and returns `Poll::Ready` when one of them is ready. If both inner futures
+//! were budget-aware, at some point the budget would be depleted which would cause both futures to
+//! return `Poll::Pending` resulting in `A` returning `Poll::Pending` as well. Yielding all the way
+//! back to the runtime, the budget would be reset, and `B` and `C` could make progress again.
+//! Now let's consider `B` is budget-aware, but `C` is not and is always ready. The budget will be
+//! depleted as before, but now since `C` always returns `Poll::Ready`, `A` will always return
+//! `Poll::Ready` as well. This way, `A` will not yield back to the runtime which will cause the budget
+//! to stay depleted and `B` not making progress.
+//!
+//! In these scenarios you could use [`task::poll_budget_available`] to check whether the budget has been depleted
+//! or not and act accordingly:
+//! ```
