Destructors aren't run for detached tasks about smol HOT 5 OPEN

Tasks spawned with smol::spawn and detached are never dropped, this should be noted in that method's documentation. On the other hand, if you spawn tasks with a normal executor they should be dropped when the executor's destructor runs.

It looks like when I don't detach the task, the drop() is only run sometimes. I'm quite confused.

Looks like I have to .cacnel().await, then it runs the dtor for sure.

This is to be expected. The executor in this case is 'static and static types don't always run their destructors.

The intended solution is to create your own executor.

Ah, okay.

I can PR the docs change for .detach() if you'd like...

from smol.

Yes, that would be appreciated.
