[cdi-dev] async: back to completion future?

[John D. Ament]

What I think would be even better is to see this implemented in the impls
(Weld & OWB) and see how users use it, in a release that's not plastered
with Alpha or Experimental all over it.  While I think we were all wary
about it, we need real end user input from the impl standpoint to figure
out what makes sense to standardize on.
