This is very small documentation improvement proposal.

In the "Coroutines and Tasks" doc, the code example after "Let’s modify the above example and run two say_after coroutines concurrently:" is missing "asyncio.run(main())" at the end of the code example:

async def main():
    task1 = asyncio.create_task(
        say_after(1, 'hello'))

    task2 = asyncio.create_task(
        say_after(2, 'world'))

    print(f"started at {time.strftime('%X')}")

    # Wait until both tasks are completed (should take
    # around 2 seconds.)
    await task1
    await task2

    print(f"finished at {time.strftime('%X')}")

I think it's clear that the modification of previous example is limited to `main()` because `say_after()` is also omitted. This is very common in Python code examples, - it seems to me this change is not needed.
