+//! - `transport-tonic`: Enables the use of the `tonic` transport. This enables `rt-tokio` and `codegen-prost` features. Enabled by default.
+//! - `rt-tokio`: Enables the use of the `tokio` runtime. Enabled by default.
+//! - `codegen-prost`: Enables the use of the `prost` codec generated resources. Enabled by default.
