    A super-fast high score gatherer using Rust and Redis.
    
    It allows the creation of _boards_, [sorted sets](https://redis.io/docs/data-types/sorted-sets/) that can be used to track the scores of players in videogames.
    
    It is written to be extremely fast and scalable: it should be able to receive bursts of many requests.
    
    Errors can be distinguished from successful requests via HTTP status codes >=400.

      description: |-
        This method creates a new board.
        
        It returns its _score submission token_ (`XBoardToken` in this spec), which is required to submit new scores to the board.
        
        Boards can use two different orders:
        
        - using the `Ascending` order, lower scores are better ranked than higher scores, like in racing games or golf;
        - using the `Descending` order, higher scores are better ranked than lower scores, like in arcade games or athletics.
        
        **WARNING: Once created, a board cannot be edited or deleted, and its token will not be accessible any longer!**
