Description
In the Convenient Utilities section in Control.Concurrent.Async module of async package, there are many, well, convenient utilities exposed for running lists of IO actions concurrently. Is there a reason that these convenient utilities are not written in this library?
I understand that it would take a bit of effort to write them, but I was wondering if there is a deeper reason, one tightly coupled with the implementation of the Process monad, that these utilities do not exist.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Process monad implementation and the Convenient Utilities section of Control.Concurrent.Async in the async package. Determine whether xConcurrently-style utilities fit this library's design and identify the API and behavior they would require. Done means either a documented design and implementation plan or a clear explanation of why these utilities should not be added.
