/**
 * Asynchronous library
 *
 * The aim of this library is to provide a facility for writing programs which
 * utilize the asynchronous nature of HelenOS IPC, yet using a normal way of
 * programming.
 *
 * You should be able to write very simple multithreaded programs. The async
 * framework will automatically take care of most of the synchronization
 * problems.
 *
 * Example of use (pseudo C):
 *
 * 1) Multithreaded client application
 *
 *   fibril_create(fibril1, ...);
 *   fibril_create(fibril2, ...);
 *   ...
 *
 *   int fibril1(void *arg)
 *   {
 *     conn = async_connect_me_to(...);
 *
 *     exch = async_exchange_begin(conn);
 *     c1 = async_send(exch);
 *     async_exchange_end(exch);
 *
 *     exch = async_exchange_begin(conn);
 *     c2 = async_send(exch);
 *     async_exchange_end(exch);
 *
 *     async_wait_for(c1);
 *     async_wait_for(c2);
 *     ...
 *   }
 *
 *
 * 2) Multithreaded server application
 *
 *   main()
 *   {
 *     async_manager();
 *   }
 *
 *   port_handler(ichandle, *icall)
 *   {
 *     if (want_refuse) {
 *       async_answer_0(ichandle, ELIMIT);
 *       return;
 *     }
 *     async_answer_0(ichandle, EOK);
 *
 *     chandle = async_get_call(&call);
 *     somehow_handle_the_call(chandle, call);
 *     async_answer_2(chandle, 1, 2, 3);
 *
 *     chandle = async_get_call(&call);
 *     ...
 *   }
 *
