I'm imagining a native-rustls crate, which uses rustls on unix, and schannel on windows, and the user doesn't have to care, like native-tls.

rustls is definitely much better, and aws-lc-rs is likely a good idea
but i'm frustated at how poor the experience is for windows users

While I never want to _deal_ with poison, I do want the invalid state propagated.
I like one suggestion I've seen:
- lock() just panics on poison, no Result
- try_lock() let's you try to recover from poison for the 1%

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.

I'd strongly consider the compiler yelling at me (besides my brain already) at `unwrap()` calls. But I have two cases that are common enough:
- Mutex::lock(), which well yea ok go boom please
- A field that is only an Option to support moving out in Drop
- Mutex::lock(), which well yea ok go boom please
- A field that is only an Option to support moving out in Drop
