Code before:
     *   does not wait for the task to start and instead continues its execution.
     * - If no dispatch is needed (which is the case for [Dispatchers.Main.immediate][MainCoroutineDispatcher.immediate]
     *   when already on the main thread and for [Dispatchers.Unconfined]),
     *   the task is executed immediately in the same thread that invoked the coroutine builder,
     *   similarly to [UNDISPATCHED].
     *
     * If the coroutine's [Job] is cancelled before it started executing, then it will not start its
     * execution at all, and will instead complete with an exception.
     *
     * Comparisons with the other options:
     * - [LAZY] delays the moment of the initial dispatch until the completion of the coroutine is awaited.
     * - [ATOMIC] prevents the coroutine from being cancelled before its first suspension point.
     * - [UNDISPATCHED] always executes the coroutine until the first suspension immediately in the same thread
     *   (as if [CoroutineDispatcher.isDispatchNeeded] returned `false`),
     *   and also, like [ATOMIC], it ensures that the coroutine cannot be cancelled before it starts executing.
     *
     * Examples:
     *
     * ```
     * // Example of starting a new coroutine that goes through a dispatch
     * runBlocking {
     *     println("1. About to start a new coroutine.")
     *     // Dispatch the job to execute later.
     *     // The parent coroutine's dispatcher is inherited by default.
     *     // In this case, it's the single thread backing `runBlocking`.
     *     val job = launch {
     *         println("3. When the thread is available, we start the coroutine")
     *     }
     *     println("2. The thread keeps doing other work after launching the coroutine")
     * }
     * ```
     *
     * ```
     * // Example of starting a new coroutine that doesn't go through a dispatch initially
     * runBlocking {
     *     println("1. About to start a coroutine not needing a dispatch.")
     *     // Dispatch the job to execute.
     *     // `Dispatchers.Unconfined` is explicitly chosen.
     *     val job = launch(Dispatchers.Unconfined) {
     *         println("2. The body will be executed immediately")
     *         delay(50.milliseconds) // give up the thread to the outer coroutine
     *         println("4. When the thread is next available, this coroutine proceeds further")
     *     }
     *     println("3. After the initial suspension, the thread does other work.")
     * }
     * ```
     *
     * ```
     * // Example of cancelling coroutines before they start executing.
     * runBlocking {
     *     launch { // dispatches the job to execute on this thread later

Review comment (suggestion):
```suggestion
     *     val job = launch { // CoroutineStart.DEFAULT is the launch's default start mode
```
I assume the space was unintended.

Code after:
     *
     * Examples:

     * runBlocking {
     *     println("1. About to start a new coroutine.")
     *     // Dispatch the job to execute later.
     *     // The parent coroutine's dispatcher is inherited by default.
     *     // In this case, it's the single thread backing `runBlocking`.
     *     launch { // CoroutineStart.DEFAULT is launch's default start mode
     *         println("3. When the thread is available, we start the coroutine")
     *     }
     *     println("2. The thread keeps doing other work after launching the coroutine")
     * }
     * ```

     *     launch(Dispatchers.Unconfined) { // CoroutineStart.DEFAULT is the launch's default start mode
