// create a promise and resolve it correctly, including `then` and `await`
await printLeakedEvents(async () => {
// unresolved promise
await new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

}).then(() => {
// do nothing, but we do want a "then"
})
})
}
main()
// Output:
// 6
// 6
// 8
// 8
// The questions:
//
// 1. Why are 6 events created ("init"ed) but not resolved when I call a
// synchronous function?
//
// 2. Why do I see a net event change of 8 regardless of whether I correctly
// `await` the promise with a `then`, vs. simply leaking it?
