Thanks for building this. It's actually similar to an idea I had a couple years back, called Transaction, with a mind to standardize all async operations in the library core to a common interface. This interface (what you have as AsyncCommand) would then be reliable for queuing via AsyncQueue. It started as a proposal from work being done on IO back in the very early versions, but came in too close to code freeze and was tabled.

It may yet see the light of day, as I'm doing some exploratory work on IO right now. FWIW, I'm also the author of AsyncQueue (it's moved away from its original simple elegance IMO, and I want to see it restored).

The other great idea here is the batching of operations reporting a single complete event. I've wanted a generic event grouping mechanism in the library for some time, but haven't gotten around to adding it. It's good to see that I'm not the only one thinking about this.

Keep up the good work.
