# A program that ends takes its threads with it. Each thread unwinds where it
# waits, so the `ensure` clauses the fiber it is on sits inside run. A fiber
# the thread left suspended stays that way, and its own do not.

ready = false

Thread.new do
  suspended = Fiber.new do
    begin
      Fiber.yield
    ensure
      puts("the suspended fiber would say so here")
