    def run
      # At a high level, the algorithm is:
      #
      #  A) Inside Fibers, run jobs from the queue one-by-one
      #    - When one of the jobs yields to the dataloader (`Fiber.yield`), then that fiber will pause
      #    - In that case, if there are still pending jobs, a new Fiber will be created to run jobs
      #    - Continue until all jobs have been _started_ by a Fiber. (Any number of those Fibers may be waiting to be resumed, after their data is loaded)
      #  B) Once all known jobs have been run until they are complete or paused for data, run all pending data sources.
      #    - Similarly, create a Fiber to consume pending sources and tell them to load their data.
      #    - If one of those Fibers pauses, then create a new Fiber to continue working through remaining pending sources.
      #    - When a source causes another source to become pending, run the newly-pending source _first_, since it's a dependency of the previous one.
      #  C) After all pending sources have been completely loaded (there are no more pending sources), resume any Fibers that were waiting for data.
      #    - Those Fibers assume that source caches will have been populated with the data they were waiting for.
      #    - Those Fibers may request data from a source again, in which case they will yeilded and be added to a new pending fiber list.
      #  D) Once all pending fibers have been resumed once, return to `A` above.
      #
      # For whatever reason, the best implementation I could find was to order the steps `[D, A, B, C]`, with a special case for skipping `D`
      # on the first pass. I just couldn't find a better way to write the loops in a way that was DRY and easy to read.
