+---Batch a set of requests that will be sent to the compositor all at once.
+---
+---Normally, all API calls are blocking. For example, calling `Window.get_all`
+---then calling `WindowHandle.props` on each returned window handle will block
+---after each `props` call waiting for the compositor to respond:
+---
+---```
+---local handles = Window.get_all()
+---
+--- -- Collect all the props into this table
+---local props = {}
+---
+--- -- This for loop will block after each call. If the compositor is running slowly
+--- -- for whatever reason, this will take a long time to complete as it requests
+--- -- properties sequentially.
+---for i, handle in ipairs(handles) do

+---end
+---```
+---
+---In order to mitigate this issue, you can batch up a set of API calls using this function.
+---This will send all requests to the compositor at once without blocking, then wait for the compositor
+---to respond.
+---
+---You must wrap each request in a function, otherwise they would just get
+---evaluated at the callsite in a blocking manner.
+---
+---### Example
+---```lua
+---local handles = window.get_all()
+---
+--- ---@type (fun(): WindowProperties)[]
+---local requests = {}
+---
+--- -- Wrap each request to `props` in another function
+---for i, handle in ipairs(handles) do

+---        return handle:props()

+///
+/// In order to mitigate this issue, you can batch up a set of API calls using this function.
+/// This will send all requests to the compositor at once without blocking, then wait for the compositor
+/// to respond.
+///
+/// You'll see that this function takes in an `IntoIterator` of `Future`s. As such,
+/// all API calls that return something have an async variant named `*_async` that returns a future.
+/// You must pass these futures into the batch function instead of their non-async counterparts.
+///
+/// # The `batch_boxed` macro
+/// The [`util`][crate::util] module also provides the [`batch_boxed`] macro.
+///
+/// The [`batch`] function only accepts one concrete type of future, meaning that you
+/// can only batch a collection of futures from one specific function or method.
+///
+/// As a convenience, `batch_boxed` accepts one or more different futures that return the same type.
+/// It will place provided futures in a `Pin<Box<_>>` to erase the types and pass them along to `batch`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// ```
+/// use pinnacle_api::util::batch;
+/// use pinnacle_api::window::WindowProperties;
+///
+/// let props: Vec<WindowProperties> = batch(window.get_all().map(|window| window.props_async()));
+///                                                         // Don't forget the `async` ^^^^^
+/// ```
+///
+pub fn batch<T>(requests: impl IntoIterator<Item = impl Future<Output = T>>) -> Vec<T> {
+    block_on_tokio(batch_async(requests))
+}

+
+/// A convenience macro to batch API calls in different concrete futures.
+///
+/// The [`batch`] function only accepts a collection of the same concrete future e.g.
+/// from a single async function or method.
+///
+/// To support different futures (that still return the same value), this macro will place provided
+/// futures in a `Pin<Box<_>>` to erase their type and pass them along to `batch`.
+///
+/// # Examples
+/// ```
+/// use pinnacle_api::util::batch_boxed;
+///
+/// let mut windows = window.get_all();
+/// let first = windows.next()?;
+/// let last = windows.last()?;
