Description

This is a great crate. The state of affair of async-tls is problematic. Its update to rustls 0.20 is still not released, whereas users are providing continuous feedback to tokio-tls.

It seems to me that futures-rustls is compatible with either tokio-tls and async-tls. Is it possible to use rust features to provide a different configuration for different needs of backends.

For example, is it possible to use features = ['tokio', 'futures'] where the default feature is 'tokio' so that tokio users won't feel any change, while enabling async-std or gio users to benefit from the community and continuous improvement of the library by enabling the 'futures' feature for their choice of backend?

Research direction

Start by reviewing futures-rustls's current feature configuration and how it relates to tokio-tls, async-tls, and futures-rustls backends. Compare the rustls 0.20 update status and assess whether tokio, futures, async-std, and gio users can be supported through separate features. Done means the compatibility and feature-design question has a settled implementation plan.
