Not at all. Senders are awaitable
(https://git.qt.io/vivoutil/libunifex-with-qt/-/blob/main/http_example_stdexec/httpdownloader.cpp?ref_type=heads#L143),
and std::task is a sender
(https://git.qt.io/vivoutil/libunifex-with-qt/-/blob/main/http_example_stdexec/httpdownloader.cpp?ref_type=heads#L114).
I don't need a thirdparty coro library any more, I can just use
Senders&Receivers to program with coros.
