Description

Let's make mesh channels more useful, so that we aren't tempted to reach for other channel implementations:

  • #596
  • Make mesh_node optional for MPSC channel.
  • Optimize oneshot channel for single-node use.
  • #613
  • Remove 'static and Send bounds on channel elements.
  • Add a bounded MPSC channel.
  • Make bounded MPSC channels work well for RPC.
  • Support channels in no_std environments (by falling back to Rc/RefCell).

Research direction

The issue is a broad checklist covering mesh channels, MPSC and oneshot channels, RPC, no_std, and channel element bounds. Start by selecting one unchecked item and locating the relevant channel implementation; no file or test is named here. Done means completing that item with appropriate validation, but the issue does not define specific acceptance tests.
