I feel that "Async" is a bit too generic and doesn't very precisely  
characterize this particular construct. How about "Future", as similar  
things are called in e.g. Alice  
<http://www.ps.uni-saarland.de/alice/manual/futures.html> and Java  
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/FutureTask.html>?
