//
// Because they can suspend and resume, async Zig functions are
// an example of a more general programming concept called
// "coroutines". One of the neat things about Zig async functions
// is that they retain their state as they are suspended and
// resumed.
//
// See if you can make this program print "5 4 3 2 1".
//
const print = @import("std").debug.print;
