/// Overwrites the default panic handler with an enhanced panic handler.
///
/// The enhanced panic handler:
///
/// * Always emits a backtrace, regardless of how `RUST_BACKTRACE` was
/// configured.
///
/// * Writes to stderr as atomically as possible, to minimize interleaving
/// with concurrent log messages.
///
/// * Instructs the entire process to abort if any thread panics.
///
/// By default, when a thread panics in Rust, only that thread is affected,
/// and other threads continue running unaffected. This is a bad default. In
/// almost all programs, thread panics are unexpected, unrecoverable, and
/// leave the overall program in an invalid state. It is therefore typically
/// less confusing to abort the entire program.
///
/// For example, consider a simple program with two threads communicating
/// through a channel, where the first thread is waiting for the second
/// thread to send a value over the channel. If the second thread panics,
/// the first thread will block forever for a value that will never be
/// produced. Blocking forever will be more confusing to the end user than
/// aborting the program entirely.
///
/// Note that after calling this function, computations in which a panic is
/// expected must use the special [`catch_unwind`] function in this module to
/// recover. Note that the `catch_unwind` function in the standard library is
/// **not** compatible with this improved panic handler.
