Async support

[SlyNet]

Establish, Because and It should support async

[NameOfTheDragon]

@SlyNet I would find it helpful if you could give an example of how you would envisage this working and perhaps say something about why it would be useful. From your description, it isn't self-evident to me what you are actually requesting.

Because i_want_to_handle_async = async () => {
   Result = await httpClient.GetAsync(....)
}

It should_have_the_result_available = () => {
   Result.ShouldNotBeNull();
}

static string Result;

Any news on this feature?

[robertcoltheart]

We've successfully used the above pattern in our code and it works, although it probably shouldn't be relied on. This is slated for 2.0, and for now the usable workaround is just to call Wait() or Result on your calls.

Is there a 2.0.0 preview we can try?

[mikeblakeuk]

We really would love async in our machine spec tests.
Is there a preview branch we can try? Thanks

I was hoping to bundle this with 2.0 but the refactor is taking more time than I'd like. I'll back-port this feature into 1.0 for now. See PR for implementation.
