64/// A request to listen to external events.
65///
66/// Besides performing async actions on demand with `Task`, most
67/// applications also need to listen to external events passively.
68///
69/// A [`Subscription`] is normally provided to some runtime, like a `Task`,
70/// and it will generate events as long as the user keeps requesting it.
71///
72/// For instance, you can use a [`Subscription`] to listen to a `WebSocket`
73/// connection, keyboard presses, mouse events, time ticks, etc.
74///
75/// # The Lifetime of a [`Subscription`]
76/// Much like a [`Future`] or a [`Stream`], a [`Subscription`] does not produce any effects
77/// on its own. For a [`Subscription`] to run, it must be returned to the iced runtime—normally
78/// in the `subscription` function of an `application` or a `daemon`.
79///
80/// When a [`Subscription`] is provided to the runtime for the first time, the runtime will
81/// start running it asynchronously. Running a [`Subscription`] consists in building its underlying
82/// [`Stream`] and executing it in an async runtime.
83///
84/// Therefore, you can think of a [`Subscription`] as a "stream builder". It simply represents a way
85/// to build a certain [`Stream`] together with some way to _identify_ it.
86///
87/// Identification is important because when a specific [`Subscription`] stops being returned to the
88/// iced runtime, the runtime will kill its associated [`Stream`]. The runtime uses the identity of a
89/// [`Subscription`] to keep track of it.
90///
91/// This way, iced allows you to declaratively __subscribe__ to particular streams of data temporarily
92/// and whenever necessary.
