A special type that mimics the behavior of a channel but does not block when items are sent.

### Features

- Send items without ever worrying that the send will block

- Check how many items are waiting to be received

- Synchronized access to members - use it from any goroutine

### Usage

To use the package, add the following import:

    import "github.com/hectane/go-nonblockingchan"

Use the `New()` function to create a new instance:

    c := nbc.New()

To send an item on the channel, use the `Send` field:

    c.Send <- true

Sending will always succeed immediately. The item will be added to an internal buffer until it is received:

    v, ok := <-c.Recv

    if ok {

        // value was received

    } else {

        // channel was closed

    }
