/// Unlike `run`, this function accepts non-`'static` (i.e. non-`move`) closures and returns
/// control flow to the caller when `control_flow` is set to `ControlFlow::Exit`.

/// # Caveats
/// Despite its apperance at first glance, this is *not* a perfect replacement for
/// `poll_events`. For example, this function will not return on Windows or macOS while a
/// window is getting resized, resulting in all application logic outside of the
/// `event_handler` closure not running until the resize operation ends. Other OS operations
/// may also result in such freezes. This behavior is caused by fundamental limitations in the
/// underyling OS APIs, which cannot be hidden by Winit without severe stability reprecussions.
///
/// You are strongly encouraged to use `run`, unless the use of this is absolutely necessary.
