7. Here the `response_model` is using a type annotation of a list of `Author` dataclasses.

    Again, you can combine `dataclasses` with standard type annotations.

8. Notice that this *path operation function* uses regular `def` instead of `async def`.

    As always, in FastAPI you can combine `def` and `async def` as needed.

     * Anyway, the purpose of this method is to implement a BinaryOperator combiner for a Collector,
     * so its return value will get used naturally.
