To play devil's advocate though, the case of Mutex specifically has it going for it that MutexGuard is !Send, so it's a compiler error if a MutexGuard is held across an await point in a Send Future. But yes if your Future is also !Send then the compiler will allow it. In that case, your only recourse is that clippy has lints for holding Mutex and RefCell guards across await points, as long as you're running it and paying attention to it of course.
