This provides a much nicer typing and navigation experience, basically if some data about the document is not ready, the request is postponed and will be served when such data becames available.

Some notes:
For now we only postpone goal requests, we should implement a proper queue (in next PRs). One pending goal request works pretty well for interactive use.
