   I strongly recommend not prefixing async variants but rather the
sync variants. IMHO gio got that wrong. As async api should be the
(strongly) recommended one, doing it the gio way may very well give
people the opposite impression (i-e that async variants are just there
for the sake of completion). In fact some some good hackers I talked
to got this wrong.

   Anyway, just my 2 cents.
