"""
This sketch demonstrates how `device.read()` blocks infinitely, which is different from established behavior.
The normal semantics of `device.read()` when using either `busio.UART` or `usb_midi.PortIn`
is that the read() does not noticably block if a `timeout` is given.
(Explicitly in the constructor of `busio.UART` and apparently implicitly in just how `usb_midi` works)
But for the `usb.core.Device` that is returned (as demo'd below), the `device.read()` blocks forever.
