Why can't we just `await` the lock call?

Edit: Nevermind, release of the lock is automatic when the callback resolves its promise. I get it now.

If you really wanted it to be at the top level you could probably turn it into an explicit `release` call using a wrapper and two `Promise` constructors, though that would probably be a bad idea since it could introduce bugs
