------------------------------------
Todd (or Chris or Eugene), I'd like your opinion on the Erlang one. As for the
rest, I welcome opinions from all.
> Rename "async void" to "noreturn void" or just "noreturn"

> "async" is not a very descriptive name for functions that don't return any
> value. I suggest that we change this keyword to "noreturn" to free up the
> term "async" to refer to non-blocking function calls. Votes?
