We ask for more information than we've got in this case, though. And
you try to get internals chapters written for things like this :-)
We're in a tricky situation. The developers of async mode were
respected contributors - but they're not here any more to explain
their work. It doesn't work as-is, so we can't test it. And Nick's
patches to bring it into shape require someone who really understands
what they're doing to review them. That's not going to be me, since I
couldn't figure the patches out when I last tried.
