    * any error raised in the greenlet is handled inside :meth:`switch` and :meth:`throw`
    * if :meth:`switch`/:meth:`throw` is called before the receiver calls :meth:`get`, then :class:`Waiter`
      will store the value/exception. The following :meth:`get` will return the value/raise the exception.

    The :meth:`switch` and :meth:`throw` methods must only be called from the :class:`Hub` greenlet.
    The :meth:`get` method must be called from a greenlet other than :class:`Hub`.

    If switch is called before the greenlet gets a chance to call :meth:`get` then
