+// These are implementations of a few algorithms, similar in nature to those in
+// <algorithm>, but which are async-friendly in the sense that they yield
+// periodically.
+//
+// For the simplest use cases we offer free functions like async_for_each, which
+// is the same as for_each except that it yields every Traits::interval
+// iterations: every call starts the counter anew.
+//
+// For more complicated cases, like nested loops, it may be convenient to carry
+// the counter from one iteration to the next, in order to yield at the correct
+// times. For example, in a doubly nested loop where the inner loop always ran
+// for less than interval iterations, we would not yield with the simple
+// functions.

+ * @brief Call f on every element, yielding occasionally and accepting
+ * an externally provided counter for yield control.
+ *
+ * This is equivalent to std::for_each, except that the computational
+ * loop yields every Traits::interval (default 100) iterations in order
+ * to avoid reactor stalls. The returned future resolves when all elements
+ * have been processed.
+ *
+ * This behaves similarly to async_for_each except that the counter used to
+ * track how much work as been done since the last attempted yield is passed
+ * in by the caller. This allows use in more complex cases such as nested loops
+ * where the inner loop may itself not do sufficient work to ever trigger the
+ * yield condition, even though the total amount of work done across all
+ iterations
+ * is very high.
+ *
+ * Use case:
+ *
+ * Replace something like:
+ *
+ * for (... outer loop ...) {
+ *   for (... inner loop ...) {
+ *      f(elem);
+ *   }
+ * }
+ * with:
+ *
+ * async_counter counter;
+ * for (... outer loop ...) {
+ *    co_await async_for_each(counter, begin, end, f);
+ * }
+ *
+ * The counter is taken by reference and must live at least until the
+ * returned future resolves: this usually trivial when the caller is a
+ * coroutine but may require some care when continuation style is used.
+ *
+ * The function is taken by value.
+ *
+ * The iterators must remain valid until the returned future resolves.
+ *
+ * @param begin the beginning of the range to process
+ * @param end the end of the range to process
+ * @param f the function to call on each element
