How to throttle multiple asynchronous tasks?

Question

I have some code of the following form:

static async Task DoSomething(int n) 
{
  ...
}

static void RunThreads(int totalThreads, int throttle) 
{
  var task

Here are some extension method variations to build on Sriram Sakthivel answer.

In the usage example, calls to DoSomething are being wrapped in an explicitly cast closure to allow passing arguments.

public static async Task RunMyThrottledTasks()
{
    var myArgsSource = new[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 };
    await myArgsSource
        .Select(a => (Func>)(() => DoSomething(a)))
        .Throttle(2);
}

public static async Task
