```
Because `start()` does not block you may need to sleep-loop if there is nothing
else for your code to do while serving.
The server `start()` method is non-blocking. A new thread will be instantiated
to handle requests. The thread calling `server.start()` will often
not have any other work to do in the meantime. In this case, you can call
`server.wait_for_termination()` to cleanly block the calling thread until the
server terminates.
