+// }
+//
+// fn bar() void {
+// fooThatMightSuspend(true); // Now bar() is async!

+// But if you KNOW the function won't suspend, you can make a
+// promise to the compiler with the 'nosuspend' keyword:
+//
+// fn bar() void {
+// nosuspend fooThatMightSuspend(false);
+// }

+// If the function does suspend and YOUR PROMISE TO THE COMPILER
+// IS BROKEN, the program will panic at runtime, which is
+// probably better than you deserve, you oathbreaker! >:-(
