Description
From first glance, it doesn't seem like there's a way to script Grepper into a function and "wait" until the query is over.
What I'm trying to do
:MoveFileAndRename foo/bar/spam- Find all usages of an import statement for the current file
'foo/bar/baz'(quickfix) - Replace them with
'foo/bar/zoo'(cfdo)
And it looks like I need to add a sleep 1 in my function body for this to work because vimgrepper makes an async search.
Think there's an easy way to return the job ID and wait on it?

Research direction
Start with the vimgrepper asynchronous search path and the function body described in the issue. Determine how a function can observe completion, including whether the search should expose a job ID or a wait mechanism. Done means a function can run the import-replacement workflow without an arbitrary sleep.
