Hey everyone, I recently saw this slide in the platform state of the union of WWDC26 (00:39:25) and `await?` immediately caught my eye. At first I thought this was kind of `void` implementation for async calls in javascript to fire and forget an async call without having to wrap it in a `Task {}`. I couldn't find anything related to this in the swift evolution (just similar sounding Blocking await!) and it doesn't seem to be supported in Xcode 27 beta 1. So I was wondering if this was just a typo or an upcoming feature?

A typo in trying to create an example that demonstrated an await in a defer, when it's supposed to be a try? (since FileHandle.close() is throwing).

Holly told me the ? was a typo. Those happen occasionally in the rush to finish so many videos!
