+```rust
+type StdError = Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static>;
+struct MyService(u8);
+
+impl Service<String> for MyService {
+    type Response = ();
+    type Error = StdError;
+    type Future = Ready<Result<(), Self::Error>>;
+
+    fn poll_ready(&mut self, _cx: &mut Context<'_>) -> Poll<Result<(), Self::Error>> {
+        Poll::Ready(Ok(()))
+    }
+
+    fn call(&mut self, req: String) -> Self::Future {
+        println!("{}: {}", self.0, req);
+        ready(Ok(()))
+    }
+}
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() {
+    let mut s = Steer::new(
+        vec![MyService(0), MyService(1)],
+        // one service handles strings with uppercase first letters. the other handles the rest.
+        |r: &String, _: &[_]| if r.chars().next().unwrap().is_uppercase() { 0 } else { 1 },

+/// which `Service` the next message will arrive for, and is unwilling to buffer items
+/// indefinitely. This will cause head-of-line blocking unless paired with a `Service` that does
+/// buffer items indefinitely, and thus always returns `Poll::Ready`.
