Description

The README says

The Rust type system will prevent you at compile time from sending a tendril between threads. (See below for thoughts on relaxing this restriction.)

...but I don't see any thoughts below it.

Research direction

Start in the README at the section describing Rust's restriction on sending tendrils between threads. Check the surrounding history or documentation context to determine whether the missing thoughts should be restored or the reference removed; done means the README no longer points to absent content and accurately explains the intended Sync status.
