+// QUICStream::SendAsync holds no thread. It used to be SendSync run as a
+// pool task: a pool thread was held until msquic accepted the buffer, which
+// a slow peer stretches to its own pace, so a server streaming to a slow
+// follower lost a worker of a pool the host shares, and the task reached back
+// through the wrapper, which a move or a destructor in the meantime freed.
+// Now the copy goes to msquic at once and its SEND_COMPLETE reports, on
+// msquic's worker, exactly once.
+//
+//  - A burst of 256 sends of 64 KiB returns with most of it still in flight
+//    (BytesInFlight), every send then reports true, in order, the counters
+//    drain to zero, and the peer gets every byte in order.
+//  - With every pool worker parked, a chain of 100 sends, each made from the
+//    previous one's onSent, completes: nothing needed the pool.
+//  - A connection stopped under a burst reports the rest false, each send
+//    exactly once, the trues before the falses.
+//  - Sends made just before the wrapper is destroyed still go out and
+//    report true.
+//  - Four threads sending on one stream at once all complete.
+//  - A send on a closed stream reports false from a pool task, not from
+//    inside SendAsync.
