Allow for user creation of asynchronous functions

[iampremo]

Ticket #200600 Account Issue: Other Description: I clicked the link to report a bug and was taken here. It's not really a bug, just a frustration. I've put hundreds of hours into making a game, and I'm just now figuring out that game maker doesn't support asynchronous functions. I'm so upset about it that I'm sending you this message. I don't know how I'm supposed to make professional quality games and interfaces when I freeze up the game to run certain intensive functions. I know asynchronous support exists for certain operations, but there is no way to make my own internal asynchronous functions. Game maker feels like a toy sometimes and not a serious development environment. You all do such a fantastic job with most things, but when I really need it most the control I would have in any other programming language is not available to me here. Please please make a way to do this, I really like game maker and would like to continue using it.

I believe they stated at one point they were atleast looking into supporting multi-threading. That seems to be basically what you are asking for here.

We NEED multithreading support. like PLEASE YoYo Games. I'll get on my hands and knees and beg
