Deprecate RunAsync due to issues with win api in continuations. #46

Closed dasMulli closed 7 years ago

dasMulli commented 7 years ago

Turns out windows API doesn't like to be called from background threads. This can be a problem when Run() or RunAsync() is called from a background thread. Since RunAsync() encourages such usage but the implementation of RunAsync() blocks for most of its run anyway, obsolete and hide it.
