For example, it describes: > `await` suspends the execution of the current coroutine until the awaited one > returns a final result or completes with an exception. But it doesn't explicitely say that it happens for Awaitable. For all we know, it doesn't suspend anything unless the value given to it is a coroutine. Since Awaitable doesn't necessarily have a "final result" or "a single exception" we know it isn't about Awaitable, but about coroutines. — Rob
