Incorporating a Synchronous Function
====================================

``async-graph-data-flow`` is for asynchronous functions by design,
but what if you need to run a *synchronous* function?
Inside a node's async function,
you may grab the asyncio's running loop,
then call the synchronous function with this loop.
