-/// Waits on multiple concurrent branches, returning when **all** branches
-/// complete.
-///
-/// The `join!` macro must be used inside of async functions, closures, and
-/// blocks.
-///
-/// The `join!` macro takes a list of async expressions and evaluates them
-/// concurrently on the same task. Each async expression evaluates to a future
-/// and the futures from each expression are multiplexed on the current task.
-///
-/// When working with async expressions returning `Result`, `join!` will wait
-/// for **all** branches complete regardless if any complete with `Err`. Use
-/// [`try_join!`] to return early when `Err` is encountered.
-///
-/// [`try_join!`]: crate::try_join
-///
-/// # Notes
-///
-/// The supplied futures are stored inline and do not require allocating a
-/// `Vec`.
-///
-/// ### Runtime characteristics
-///
-/// By running all async expressions on the current task, the expressions are
-/// able to run **concurrently** but not in **parallel**. This means all
-/// expressions are run on the same thread and if one branch blocks the thread,
-/// all other expressions will be unable to continue. If parallelism is
-/// required, spawn each async expression using [`tokio::spawn`] and pass the
-/// join handle to `join!`.
-///
-/// [`tokio::spawn`]: crate::spawn
-///
-/// # Examples
-///
-/// Basic join with two branches
-///
-/// ```
-/// async fn do_stuff_async() {
-///     // async work
-/// }
-///
-/// async fn more_async_work() {
-///     // more here
-/// }
-///
-/// #[tokio::main]
-/// async fn main() {
-///     let (first, second) = tokio::join!(
-///         do_stuff_async(),
-///         more_async_work());
-///
-///     // do something with the values
