So that is the rule: **invariants make code easier to understand**.
A more general principle is stated as follows: reducing complexity.

I think this point needs some thought.
If the await operation is allowed only for Future, it will make the
code more consistent which is a good thing.

Then it will be necessary to add a FutureInterface, and Awaitable
should be hidden from the UserLand namespace.
