synopsis: Run IO operations asynchronously and wait for their results
description: This package provides a higher-level interface over
             threads, in which an @Async a@ is a concurrent
             thread that will eventually deliver a value of
             type @a@.  The package provides ways to create
             @Async@ computations, wait for their results, and
             cancel them.
             .
             Using @Async@ is safer than using threads in two
             ways:
             .
             * When waiting for a thread to return a result,
             if the thread dies with an exception then the
             caller must either re-throw the exception
             ('wait') or handle it ('waitCatch'); the
             exception cannot be ignored.
             .
             * The API makes it possible to build a tree of
             threads that are automatically killed when
             their parent dies (see 'withAsync').
             .
             Changes in 2.0.2:
             .
             * Add a Monad instance for Concurrently
             * Bump base dependency to allow 4.9
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.6:
             .
             * Add workaround to waitCatch for #14
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.5:
             .
             * Bump @base@ dependencies for GHC 7.8
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.4:
             .
             * Bump @base@ dependency of test suite
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.3:
             .
             * Bump @base@ dependency to allow 4.6
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.2:
             .
             * Bump @stm@ dependency to 2.4
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.1:
             .
             * Safe Haskell support: @Control.Concurrent.Async@ is now @Trustworthy@
             .
             Changes in 2.0.1.0:
             .
             * Added a @Functor@ instance for @Async@
             .
             * Added @asyncBound@, @asyncOn@, @asyncWithUnmask@, @asyncOnWithUnmask@, @withAsyncBound@, @withAsyncOn@, @withAsyncWithUnmask@, @withAsyncOnWithUnmask@.
             .
             * Added @mapConcurrently@
             .
             * Added @Concurrently@ (with @Applicative@ and @Alternative@ instances)
