RFE: asyncio support

Folks:

I’m in the process of setting up animated LED lighting for the family's Lego winter village using a Feather ESP32-S2 and asyncio tasks and, naturally, I’d like the LED lights to also show up in Home Assistant as first-class, individually-controllable devices. This is working great using MiniMQTT, except for the fact that the animation stops during calls to MQTT.loop(). Any plans to provide an async version of the latter?

Won’t somebody please think of the Legos?

Start by reading the implementation of MQTT.loop() and how it is used with asyncio tasks on the Feather ESP32-S2. Determine the requirements for an async version that does not stop animation during MQTT processing; done means the MQTT client can be used asynchronously without blocking those tasks.
