Indirectly: the initial version was a single function, so could have been used in a decorator easily enough. The issue is what happens on exceptions to avoid tasks hanging around forever. Exceptions propagate “forward” in the pipeline fairl

Hi, author here, I was slightly torn on the usage of the word "parallelise", in that yes, CPU-wise, no tasks will progress in parallel. However, the point of the library is to allow certain parts of a pipeline to progress at the s

Author here: thanks! I was hoping to get across exactly that meaning of leaky: that HTTP shows information from, and allows control of, parts of the otherwise-abstracted-away lower-levels, e.g. TCP/IP. Will see if I can make that clear
