I'm not entirely sure, but my intuition says that using `time.After` like
that with pending sends from another goroutine will cause that goroutine to
leak. A better solution may be to use the `WithTimeout` functionality of
the `context` package and then periodically check the `Done()` channel to
see if the timeout has expired. It works something like this if you imagine
`HeavyWork` is a call to an external API:
