/// You can use this to run multiple futures concurrently with [`join`][crate::join].
///
/// It's suitable for systems with no or limited concurrency and without
/// strict requirements around power consumption. For more complex use
/// cases, prefer using a "real" executor like `embassy-executor`, which
/// supports multiple tasks, and putting the core to sleep when no task
/// needs to do work.
