        // - A task must never be allowed to run for more than 2x the request

        // - Every task we accept here must be allowed to run for at least 1x

        // the request timeout.  This serves to cap the amount of time we need
        // to keep the instance alive before _all_ tasks have either completed
        // or timed out.

        // As of this writing, there's an additional wrinkle that makes

        // executing, and also prevents the `AsyncFnOnce` passed to
        // `run_concurrent` from being polled.  Consequently, we must rely on a
        // "second line of defense" to ensure tasks are timed out promptly,
        // which is to check for timeouts _outside_ the `run_concurrent` future.
