 * A function that will be executed in the background.

 * ## WARNINGS
 *
 * 1. It may execute in a completely different environment that the one that invoked it.
 * DO NOT depend on global variables, closures, or other process state that is not lazily
 * created or constructed in-place by the script.
 * 2. Fire-and-forget behavior is undefined. As soon as the `Promise` returned by your
 * function resolves, the execution environment is free to terminate the process.
 * 3. In local development, **timeouts are not enforced.** (Yet.)
