+    Allows for queueing async class calls and limit the amount of
+    concurrent async operations ongoing. This to alleviate the
+    pressure of having numerous ongoing async tasks that do IO or
+    networking.
+
+    A queued class should have a `query` function which starts the
+    async task and a `result` signal, which indicates it is done.
+    The signal may be used by the caller and have an arbitrary
+    number and type of arguments.
+    The query function' first argument should be the async class and
+    may have an arbitrary number of arguments following.
