Description

### Description

Currently, stdlib has a limited set of dedicated "async" APIs for performing various utility operations. The goal of this idea is to achieve feature parity with [async.js](https://caolan.github.io/async/v3/), a popular library providing callback-based async APIs.

Motivation for this idea stems from certain advantages afforded by callback-based asynchronous programming. Notable among them is superior performance and the ability to more readily return and inspect status objects.
