;;; Commentary:
;;
;; 1 Usage
;; ═══════
;;
;;   First of all, don’t forget to add `(spinner "VERSION")' to your
;;   package’s dependencies.
;;
;;
;; 1.1 Major-modes
;; ───────────────
;;
;;   1. Just call `(spinner-start)' and a spinner will be added to the
;;      mode-line.
;;   2. Call `(spinner-stop)' on the same buffer when you want to remove
;;      it.
;;
;;   The default spinner is a line drawing that rotates. You can pass an
;;   argument to `spinner-start' to specify which spinner you want. All
;;   possibilities are listed in the `spinner-types' variable, but here are
;;   a few examples for you to try:
;;
;;   • `(spinner-start 'vertical-breathing 10)'
;;   • `(spinner-start 'minibox)'
;;   • `(spinner-start 'moon)'
;;   • `(spinner-start 'triangle)'
;;
;;   You can also define your own as a vector of strings (see the examples
;;   in `spinner-types').
;;
;;
;; 1.2 Minor-modes
;; ───────────────
;;
;;   Minor-modes can create a spinner with `spinner-create' and then add it
;;   to their mode-line lighter. They can then start the spinner by setting
;;   a variable and calling `spinner-start-timer'. Finally, they can stop
;;   the spinner (and the timer) by just setting the same variable to nil.
;;
;;   Here’s an example for a minor-mode named `foo'. Assuming that
;;   `foo--lighter' is used as the mode-line lighter, the following code
;;   will add an *inactive* global spinner to the mode-line.
;;   ┌────
;;   │ (defvar foo--spinner (spinner-create 'rotating-line))
;;   │ (defconst foo--lighter
;;   │   '(" foo" (:eval (spinner-print foo--spinner))))
;;   └────
;;
;;   1. To activate the spinner, just call `(spinner-start foo--spinner)'.
;;      It will show up on the mode-line and start animating.
;;   2. To get rid of it, call `(spinner-stop foo--spinner)'. It will then
;;      disappear again.
;;
;;   Some minor-modes will need spinners to be buffer-local. To achieve
;;   that, just make the `foo--spinner' variable buffer-local and use the
;;   third argument of the `spinner-create' function. The snippet below is an
;;   example.
;;
;;   ┌────
;;   │ (defvar-local foo--spinner nil)
;;   │ (defconst foo--lighter
;;   │   '(" foo" (:eval (spinner-print foo--spinner))))
;;   │ (defun foo--start-spinner ()
;;   │   "Create and start a spinner on this buffer."
;;   │   (unless foo--spinner
;;   │     (setq foo--spinner (spinner-create 'moon t)))
;;   │   (spinner-start foo--spinner))
;;   └────
;;
;;   1. To activate the spinner, just call `(foo--start-spinner)'.
;;   2. To get rid of it, call `(spinner-stop foo--spinner)'.
;;
;;   This will use the `moon' spinner, but you can use any of the names
;;   defined in the `spinner-types' variable or even define your own.
