I don't think this could reasonably hold.  For example, you'd expect
that for any p, idP >> p == idP since idP never terminates at all.
But then let p1 == idP, and you get something silly.  The issue is
with early termination: if p2 terminates first in the left hand side,
you don't want the unawait to occur.
