------------------------------------------------------------

Hmm, my two cents:
* If you _feel_ you are blocked waiting for the result of async observer (e.g. want to make sure certain observer goes first), then it would, perhaps, be better to use a sync event/observer for that.
* Also, we allow to provide custom executors - I cannot really see how we make sure those exectutors take this into consideration.
* Last but not least I think this ruins the idea of async which is "fire and forget".

> Async Events don't presently support ordering.  When the number of observers grows, and is larger than the number of available threads, I may wan to have events follow a certain order, to ensure my more important observers are seen first.
