"await" means "don't continue this function until that's done". It
blocks the function until a non-blocking operation is done.
That explanation gives the impression that it's some
kind of "join" operation on parallel tasks, i.e. if
you do
x = foo()
do_something_else()
y = await x
then foo() somehow proceeds in the background while
do_something_else() is going on. But that's not the
way it works at all.
