Well, my questions as someone who hasn't touched the async stuff so far 
would be:

Is there a viable approach to provide

(a) support for async without duplicating the stdlib
(b) a reasonably elegant way to access the async versions

I hope we can agree that prepending an "a" to the name should be the last 
resort.
