async methods #260

Open mattheworiordan opened 7 years ago

mattheworiordan commented 7 years ago

Should we consider offering async alternatives to traditionally blocking method calls?

Sure, so is the rule then that if an async suffixed method does not exist then the dev can assume the method is async? Seems a little haphazard IMHO
