/**
 * Yields the thread (or thread pool) of the current coroutine dispatcher to other coroutines to run if possible.
 * 
 * This suspending function is cancellable.
 * If the [Job] of the current coroutine is cancelled or completed when this suspending function is invoked or while
 * this function is waiting for dispatch, it resumes with a [CancellationException].
 *
 * **Note**: This function always [checks for cancellation][ensureActive] even when it does not suspend.
 *
 * ### Implementation details
 *
 * If the coroutine dispatcher is [Unconfined][Dispatchers.Unconfined], this
 * functions suspends only when there are other unconfined coroutines working and forming an event-loop.
 * For other dispatchers, this function calls [CoroutineDispatcher.dispatch] and
 * always suspends to be resumed later regardless of the result of [CoroutineDispatcher.isDispatchNeeded].
 * If there is no [CoroutineDispatcher] in the context, it does not suspend.
