Oh yes, indeed, it can be. I'm with you.

I think the point here is that with these blocking calls in place, we
wouldn't really need a separate :nowait 'immediate, just the existing
:nowait t. And IIUC, this is also what Eli Zaretskii proposes. With
this model, :nowait t really means: I request as much async behavior as
possible. But if code is not arranged in an async fashion, then well,
you might not get full async behavior. It's your fault, but we won't
signal an error.
