AsyncListener is a JS API that works in tandem with the AsyncWrap class to allow the user to be alerted to key events in the life cycle of an asynchronous event. The AsyncWrap class has its own MakeCallback implementation that core will be migrated to use, and uses state sharing techniques to allow quicker communication between JS and C++ whether the async event callbacks need to be called.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
