> What is "await" if not a synonym for "suspend"?!?

There are scenarios where something might need to await and might not. Why take the hit if you are able to do something synchronously? Edit: this is especially important given the “viral” nature of colored functions.

It does make it hard to reason about, but this kind of problem is all over the place - e.g. very similar-looking code can have very different semantics depending on your framework if you’re using jsx or a particular decorator means one thing in one project and something else in another. That’s just part of the game at this point.
