//
// The power and purpose of async/await becomes more apparent
// when we do multiple things concurrently. Foo and Bar do not
// depend on each other and can happen at the same time, but End
// requires that they both be finished.
//
//               +---------+
//               |  Start  |
//               +---------+

//                 /      \

//        |   Foo   |    |   Bar   |
//        +---------+    +---------+
//                 \      /

// We can express this in Zig like so:
//
//     fn foo() u32 { ... }
//     fn bar() u32 { ... }
//
//     // Start
//
//     var foo_frame = async foo();
//     var bar_frame = async bar();
//
//     var foo_value = await foo_frame;
//     var bar_value = await bar_frame;
//
//     // End
//
// Please await TWO page titles!
