 ## Examples
 
-Runnable examples live in the [`examples`](examples) workspace crate. For example, the [`OnceCell` versus `LazyCell` initialization guide](examples/src/once_cell_vs_lazy_cell.rs) demonstrates when a restartable fixed free function is sufficient, when initialization needs access-time context and retries, and when a lazy value needs to own and preserve a one-shot initializer.

+Runnable examples live in the [`examples`](examples) workspace crate. They demonstrate how to choose and compose Asyncband primitives in complete programs.
