*
* [Closing][close] a channel _after_ this function has suspended does not cause this suspended [send] invocation

* All elements sent over the channel are delivered in first-in first-out order. The sent element
* will be delivered to receivers before the close token.

* This suspending function is cancellable: if the [Job] of the current coroutine is cancelled while this
* suspending function is waiting, this function immediately resumes with [CancellationException].
* There is a **prompt cancellation guarantee**: even if [send] managed to send the element, but was cancelled
* while suspended, [CancellationException] will be thrown. See [suspendCancellableCoroutine] for low-level details.

* Registers a [handler] which is synchronously invoked once the channel is [closed][close]

* Only one handler can be attached to a channel during its lifetime.
* The `handler` is invoked when [isClosedForSend] starts to return `true`.
* If the channel is closed already, the handler is invoked immediately.
*
* The meaning of `cause` that is passed to the handler:
* - `null` if the channel was closed normally without the corresponding argument.
* - Instance of [CancellationException] if the channel was cancelled normally without the corresponding argument.
* - The cause of `close` or `cancel` otherwise.
*
* ### Execution context and exception safety
*
* The [handler] is executed as part of the closing or cancelling operation, and only after the channel reaches its final state.
* This means that if the handler throws an exception or hangs, the channel will still be successfully closed or cancelled.
* Unhandled exceptions from [handler] are propagated to the closing or cancelling operation's caller.
*
* Example of usage:
* ```
* val events = Channel(UNLIMITED)
* callbackBasedApi.registerCallback { event ->
* events.trySend(event)
* .onClosed { /* channel is already closed, but the callback hasn't stopped yet */ }
* }
*
* val uiUpdater = uiScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
* events.consume { /* handle events */ }
* }
* // Stop the callback after the channel is closed or cancelled
* events.invokeOnClose { callbackBasedApi.stop() }
* ```
*
* **Stability note.** This function constitutes a stable API surface, with the only exception being
* that an [IllegalStateException] is thrown when multiple handlers are registered.
* This restriction could be lifted in the future.
*
* @throws UnsupportedOperationException if the underlying channel does not support [invokeOnClose].
* Implementation note: currently, [invokeOnClose] is unsupported only by Rx-like integrations
*
* @throws IllegalStateException if another handler was already registered

* Channel is a non-blocking primitive for communication between a sender (via [SendChannel]) and a receiver (via [ReceiveChannel]).
* Conceptually, a channel is similar to Java's [BlockingQueue][java.util.concurrent.BlockingQueue],
* but it has suspending operations instead of blocking ones and can be [closed][SendChannel.close].
*
* ### Creating channels
*
* The `Channel(capacity)` factory function is used to create channels of different kinds depending on
* the value of the `capacity` integer:
*
* - When `capacity` is 0 — it creates a _rendezvous_ channel.
* This channel does not have any buffer at all. An element is transferred from the sender
* to the receiver only when [send] and [receive] invocations meet in time (rendezvous), so [send] suspends
* until another coroutine invokes [receive], and [receive] suspends until another coroutine invokes [send].
*
* - When `capacity` is [Channel.UNLIMITED] — it creates a channel with effectively unlimited buffer.
* This channel has a linked-list buffer of unlimited capacity (limited only by available memory).
* [Sending][send] to this channel never suspends, and [trySend] always succeeds.
*
* - When `capacity` is [Channel.CONFLATED] — it creates a _conflated_ channel
* This channel buffers at most one element and conflates all subsequent `send` and `trySend` invocations,
* so that the receiver always gets the last element sent.
* Back-to-back sent elements are conflated — only the last sent element is received,
* while previously sent elements **are lost**.
* [Sending][send] to this channel never suspends, and [trySend] always succeeds.
*
* - When `capacity` is positive but less than [UNLIMITED] — it creates an array-based channel with the specified capacity.
* This channel has an array buffer of a fixed `capacity`.
* [Sending][send] suspends only when the buffer is full, and [receiving][receive] suspends only when the buffer is empty.
*
* Buffered channels can be configured with an additional [`onBufferOverflow`][BufferOverflow] parameter. It controls the behaviour
* of the channel's [send][Channel.send] function on buffer overflow:
*
* - [SUSPEND][BufferOverflow.SUSPEND] — the default, suspend `send` on buffer overflow until there is
* free space in the buffer.
* - [DROP_OLDEST][BufferOverflow.DROP_OLDEST] — do not suspend the `send`, add the latest value to the buffer,
* drop the oldest one from the buffer.
* A channel with `capacity = 1` and `onBufferOverflow = DROP_OLDEST` is a _conflated_ channel.
* - [DROP_LATEST][BufferOverflow.DROP_LATEST] — do not suspend the `send`, drop the value that is being sent,
* keep the buffer contents intact.
*
* A non-default `onBufferOverflow` implicitly creates a channel with at least one buffered element and
* is ignored for a channel with unlimited buffer. It cannot be specified for `capacity = CONFLATED`, which
* is a shortcut by itself.
*
* ### Prompt cancellation guarantee
*
* All suspending functions with channels provide **prompt cancellation guarantee**.
* If the job was cancelled while send or receive function was suspended, it will not resume successfully, even if it
* already changed the channel's state, but throws a [CancellationException].
* With a single-threaded [dispatcher][CoroutineDispatcher] like [Dispatchers.Main], this gives a
* guarantee that the coroutine promptly reacts to the cancellation of its [Job] and does not resume its execution.
*
* > **Prompt cancellation guarantee** for channel operations was added since `kotlinx.coroutines` version `1.4.0`
* > and had replaced a channel-specific atomic-cancellation that was not consistent with other suspending functions.
* > The low-level mechanics of prompt cancellation are explained in [suspendCancellableCoroutine] function.
*
* ### Undelivered elements
*
* As a result of the prompt cancellation guarantee, when a closeable resource
* (like open file or a handle to another native resource) is transferred via a channel from one coroutine to another,
* it can fail to be delivered and will be lost if the receiving operation is cancelled in transit.
*
* A `Channel()` constructor function has an `onUndeliveredElement` optional parameter.
* When `onUndeliveredElement` parameter is set, the corresponding function is called once for each element
* that was sent to the channel with the call to the [send][SendChannel.send] function but failed to be delivered,
* which can happen in the following cases:
*
* - When [send][SendChannel.send] operation throws an exception because it was cancelled before it had a chance to actually
* send the element or because the channel was [closed][SendChannel.close] or [cancelled][ReceiveChannel.cancel].
* - When [receive][ReceiveChannel.receive], [receiveOrNull][ReceiveChannel.receiveOrNull], or [hasNext][ChannelIterator.hasNext]
* operation throws an exception when it had retrieved the element from the
* channel but was cancelled before the code following the receive call resumed.
* - The channel was [cancelled][ReceiveChannel.cancel], in which case `onUndeliveredElement` is called on every
* remaining element in the channel's buffer.
*
* Note, that `onUndeliveredElement` function is called synchronously in an arbitrary context. It should be fast, non-blocking,
* and should not throw exceptions. Any exception thrown by `onUndeliveredElement` is wrapped into an internal runtime
* exception which is either rethrown from the caller method or handed off to the exception handler in the current context
* (see [CoroutineExceptionHandler]) when one is available.
*
* A typical usage for `onUndeliveredElement` is to close a resource that is being transferred via the channel. The
* following code pattern guarantees that opened resources are closed even if producer, consumer, and/or channel
* are cancelled. Resources are never lost.
*
* ```
* // Create the channel with onUndeliveredElement block that closes a resource
* val channel = Channel(capacity) { resource -> resource.close() }
*
* // Producer code
* val resourceToSend = openResource()
* channel.send(resourceToSend)
*
* // Consumer code
* val resourceReceived = channel.receive()
* try {
* // work with received resource
* } finally {
* resourceReceived.close()
* }
* ```
*
* > Note, that if you do any kind of work in between `openResource()` and `channel.send(...)`, then you should
* > ensure that resource gets closed in case this additional code fails.
