/// Spawn the provided `future` to get executed concurrently with the
/// currently-running async computation.
///
/// This API is somewhat similar to `tokio::task::spawn` for example but has a
/// number of limitations to be aware of. If possible it's recommended to avoid
/// this, but it can be convenient if these limitations do not apply to you:
///
/// * Spawned tasks do not work when the version of the `wit-bindgen` crate
///   managing the export bindings is different from the version of this crate.
///   To work correctly the `spawn` function and export executor must be at
///   exactly the same version. Given the major-version-breaking nature of
///   `wit-bindgen` this is not always easy to rely on. This is tracked in
///   [#1305].
///
/// * Spawned tasks do not outlive the scope of the async computation they are
///   spawned within. For example with an async export function spawned tasks
///   will be polled within the context of that component-model async task. For
///   computations executing within a [`block_on`] call, however, the spawned
///   tasks will be executed within that scope. This notably means that for
///   [`block_on`] spawned tasks will prevent the [`block_on`] function from
///   returning, even if a value is available to return.
///
/// * There is no handle returned to the spawned task meaning that it cannot be
///   cancelled or monitored.
///
/// * The task spawned here is executed *concurrently*, not in *parallel*. This
///   means that while one future is being polled no other future can be polled
///   at the same time. This is similar to a single-thread executor in Tokio.
///
/// With these restrictions in mind this can be used to express
/// execution-after-returning in the component model. For example once an
/// exported async function has produced a value this can be used to continue to
/// execute some more code before the component model async task exits.
///
