let mut request_contract = requester.try_request().unwrap();
 
// We have to wait for `request_contract` to go out of scope
// before we can make another request.
// match requester.try_request() {
//     Err(chan::TryRequestError::Locked) => {
//         println!("We already have a request contract!");
//     },
//     _ => unreachable!(),
// }

responder.try_respond().unwrap().send(5);
println!("Got number {}", request_contract.try_receive().unwrap());
