How does that prevent this kind of deadlock? If the owned future has acquired a mutex, and you return that future from the select so that it might be polled again, and the user assigns it to a variable, then the future that has acquired the mutex but has not completed is still not dropped. This is basically the same as polling an `&mut future`, but with more steps.
