Otherwise, introducing that internally could also simplify and avoid the task scopes holding on unnecessarily to futures that are not operated on after join. I was reluctant to make such a change here but could propose as a separate PR.

Otherwise, we should specify that if operated on before `join` has completed then the results are unspecified.
