That would be great. It's tough to achieve in Emacs of course, since the
underlying model of operation is synchronous. At the moment, various
packages solve this problem in ad hoc ways. In some (such as man) there's
no longer a need for an ad hoc solution: the extra complexity isn't worth
it. In others, such as TRAMP and ispell, it's obviously fundamental.
