It is about threads just now. But it could be also for other
asynchronous command behavior, later on.

It is just a knob ("prefix command"), which tells the following command
"If you know something about asynchronity, and if you care, be informed
that the user wants you to run asynchronous".

Whatever this means.

Best regards, Michael.
