Evaluate code async

[lukebuehler]

With the new ReplExecutor the code is not evaluated asynchronously anymore, this functionality needs to be added back.

@lukebuehler - Just had a quick look at this (I know I'm new to the project) but I don't see the UI locking up when evaluation is taking place. Therefore is it not running async?

[lukebuehler]

If it's a long running task it will lock. Are you running the latest version in the dev branch?

Try this :-)

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);

[medmondson]

@lukebuehler - Please see my attempted replication of this issue. Version number at the end just to be certain.

[medmondson]

@lukebuehler - Follow on from my previous message, are we okay to close this issue or can you prove it does indeed occur in certain scenarios?

[lukebuehler]

@medmondson this now works in the lastest dev branch

[lukebuehler]

this is a big feature because the new execution engine should be run async, but all the way from the UI, it would make the code simpler

[medmondson]

That's great, although I could never replicate :-)

[lukebuehler]

It's more of a feature in the sense that I need to refactor CShell to use
async, then I can make the evaluation code simpler. The issue is resolved
but its a nasty hack, i.e., using Task.Start.
