説明
https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/multi-threading/#Base.Threads.@spawn says See the manual chapter on threading for important caveats. but in https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/multi-threading/ the @spawn macro is not used in any bigger example, not elaborated in more detail.
Difference and similarity of @async and @spawn should be elaborated more, ideally with demonstration of both @async and @spawn being used with @sync.
In https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/parallel/#Base.@sync I see it can be used for @spawn too, but I think actually having example in manual would help much.
