What sending enforces

Using sending tells the compiler:

• This value will be consumed by a concurrent context (e.g., a task).
• It must not be accessed again from the current task.
• If it is accessed again (e.g., reused or mutated), the compiler will raise an error.

In the code below, it enforces running the operation once. Using it in the 2nd Task causes a compiler error.
