/// ```rust

///
/// # #[cfg(all(not(target_arch = "wasm32"),feature = "native-tokio"))]
/// # #[tokio::main(flavor = "current_thread")]

///  let task = async || { "hi".to_owned() };
///  let rx = spawn_with_return(task);
///
///  let result = rx.await?; //Only an example, in a real use case use try_recv instead
///  assert_eq!(result, "hi");
/// # Ok(())
/// # }
///
