BTW, we should devise a "standard" way to turn an async operation into
a synchronous one, so that APIs such as the one used for VC backends can
simply always work asynchronously, and if the client needs the answer
right away he can just use this standard way.
I guess part of this answer could look like url-future.el.

Right, it can be a better replacement for `vc-exec-after'.
It would again break compatibility, but still checking if the returned
arg is a promise, and if so forcing it, would be easier than calling
`vc-call-backend' with different arguments depending on the Emacs version.
