	It certainly supports async method invocations; (via. a hand-coded stub
extension) - which works fine.

	Unfortunately - cancellation isn't built into the spec. so you'd have
to do that via. another async method call. If you use the 'oneway' IDL
modifier you get ~an async call anyhow;

	That rather depends on your architecture; but it shouldn't be
necessary.
