Sure naming matters, but at least to my English understanding there's
not a semantic different between telling something to await for
something else (i.e. add a dependency) or to tell something to add a
dependency (i.e. await that thing later on before you start doing your
own thing).

Exclusive vs write fence otoh is a pretty big difference in what it means.

But also if there's consensus that I'm wrong then I'm happy to pick
the more preferred of the two options I deem equivalent.

Nothing. I just like another ack on this before I rename it all. Also
I wasnt sure what you'd want to name the implicit dependency thing.

Lucas, Boris, Melissa, any acks here?
