 //! A queue for sending values between asynchronous tasks.

 //! Similar to a [`Channel`](crate::channel::Channel), however [`PriorityChannel`] sifts higher priority items to the front of the queue.
+//! Priority is determined by the `Ord` trait. Priority behavior is determined by the [`Kind`](heapless::binary_heap::Kind) parameter of the channel.
